    Please accept our sincerest condolences. Georgie was a true friend to my mom and dad, Ed and Joyce Handy, all these years. As their ages prevented them from seeing each other over the past years, Georgie always thought about them at Christmas time and my mom always looked forward to hearing from her. Georgie was truly my mom’s “best friend” all these years since the time they lived at Sheridan Village many many years ago. Georgie will always have a special place in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family.
