    I am very sorry for the loss of Georgine. The Boggess family has always been in my thoughts, with a prayer. I Loved watching Zeb pulling Steve around on the lake, Working with Georgina and meeting Rosy. I don’t remember our escapades, but I know we had a few. And seeing George fall in love. And little Bobby grow up. George your mom asked me to call u because our youngest daughter lives in Gig Harbor. But, I never called her to get ur number. I’m Sorry for that, too.
