This morning I asked our fellow coworker from CSED, Linda Erickson, if she had any word of Georgette & she told me of her death. I am in tears of grief. I just assumed Georgette was out there living her life, despite not having run into her since perhaps 1995. I'm so sorry for your loss. I will always treasure my memories of her. And I'm glad to hear she had many years of sobriety.

Happy 64th birthday momma! I meant to leave this message yesterday but now I'm glad I didn't because you were laying next to me and we were talking about all kinds of things in my dream! You are ALWAYS in my heart and thoughts. PS, I finally reread the letter you wrote me on 9-13-2002 this week. We had such a beautiful friendship. You always did the very best you could under all the circumstances we faced together. Now you're resting in peace and that brings me peace as well. I miss and love you very much.

Your free spirit lives and breathes in me and has taken me on many incredible life adventures. But now...this last year, and especially this month of ours....life has come full circle and you are everywhere in it. I love and miss you differently than ever before. Someday my two soulmates will meet but until then you keep singing and dancing, waiting for Bradley and I.

My dear friend, Georgette. I think of you often and of the many childhood memories we shared. I only wish we would have had the chance to have made just as many memories as we got older. Distance got in the way. However, it doesn't matter as our bond was so strong and always there regardless. You will always be in my heart. Love you.

I miss you so very much momma. There is a day I often think of. I was driving to hospice, one of many drives to be with you and nothing in particular happened on this drive but I remember this one day all the time. I guess I remember how I felt that day. Perhaps it was one of the few moments you came out of your coma and were awake just long enough to share a few stories or laughs. One day you were awake long enough to watch a movie and by the time it finished I was asleep in the chair next to you, but you had fallen back into a coma for several more days after. Perhaps that day of my drive was the day I reminded you how much I loved your soft hands. The hands that used to run your fingers through my hair whenever I was sad or not feeling well. I'm not sure what happened that day but it stuck. Maybe it was because we were approaching September and since childhood the entire month of my birthday was about me!! Not just a day...the whole month. Maybe that's why you were laid to rest this month, 6yrs ago. This was our month. My month. At first I was even more sad in September. Now it makes sense. Happy September, from your Tina Bug.

My dear friend always, Georgette,

I think of you more often than you know. Memories of our earliest times together as children, as well as later in life and the very last time. So you see, you are still with me in thought and it will never change because I love you. I feel so privileged to have become good friends with your extraordinarily special and lovely daughter, Tina. You would be so proud of her, but then you already were. i know you would be happy that we are in touch with one another, too. How special is that.

With love,
Barbara

Today I leave a note. It is my first note so far because usually my heart aches so much, I feel a candle or flower is more appropriate. But today, oddly I am not aching. I miss you terribly but I am filled with happy memories today. I just smiled browsing several pictures on your memorial site. :-) I feel fairly confident you are truly resting in peace Momma! I love you so much!

It's hard to believe you would only be 60yrs old today Mom. You were a young soul throughout your life. At times, you were the child to me and we shared some very special times in that. Some hard times too. Its the most unfair thing I've ever seen in this world...losing you, when people with not nearly the heart and not nearly the good as you keep going. It was the most painful part of losing you. Being so sick was the most bitter sweet part. You needed to go. I love you.

Mom,

4yrs ago today, I had finally gone home to sleep a night - taking a short break from staying at Hospice with you and sure enough, that morning, you passed. I believe you planned it that way. So I could rest and you could rest. Now that you're resting in peace, all that's left is the beautiful memories of your beautiful soul. I love you.

Happy Birthday Momma Bear...dreamed of you last night and woke up with my head filled with memories of us laughing and talking on my balcony in San Diego when you visited from Alaska! That was such a special night. I miss you so much and wish you were here to hug today. Love you, Tina Bug

Georgette, I already miss our phone conversations. Our sincerity of being Mothers were so much alike. Sometimes it meant sadness and others it was happiness. I will always remember you as having a "Heart of Gold", and sharing our Motherly thoughts so many times the last few years,I wish we still could. It has been so hard not dialing your number. I will miss you, May you rest in peace.

Listening to Beatles .45's on your portable record player, drinking Koolaid from your indestructable green plastic glasses, playing Ken to your Barbie- I felt like your little brother from another mother. I didn't have the pleasure of watching you blossom into the beautiful flower you became, but I can see how many lives you touched in such positive ways, and I am proud to count myself among them.

Georgette was 1st my boss then friend at CSSD for many years.She had a special ability to maintain a positive outlook when any circumstance looked bleak. That insurmountable smile of hers could lighten up any dark night.Her passing is a loss for all of us. My condolences to her loved ones.

It was my pleasure to work with Georgette from 1981, until her early, medical retirement. Nice, funny, straight forward, and honest, she earned her way up the ranks, with many lasting achievements. I appreciate work area ergonomic improvements she suggested, and never had a problem since the day she made them. Bless you Georgette, you are missed. My condolences to her family and many friends.

Hi Matt and Tina,

My mom (Phyllis Yagotin) has been asking me to search for your mom and I came across this memorial page.  I just wanted to let you know that someone has been thinking of your mom. 

My sincere condolences,

Kara

To Georgette's children,
I don't know if your mother ever told you about me.  My father, Armando Paul Crosa was Tolly's only sibling.  I live in Burlingame, California (20 minutes south of San Francisco). 
Your mother and I only saw each other on holidays.  I don't remember too much after the age of 17...your mother went off.  If you would like to connect, please respond by emailing me .maryleed@sbcglobal.net.
