     Georgia was a Yorkie breeder for 20 years and loved all her dogs. It was important to her that her dogs went to safe and happy homes. Georgia taught her girls to be strong and if you get knocked down you get up fighting. Georgia shared “I was a very strong independent woman.  I could do anything I set my mind on.” And “You can attract more flies with honey than vinegar.” She taught them to trust in God; He will only give you what he thinks you can handle. She always found the good in people and wasn't afraid to tell a stranger how pretty she was. She loved the color purple, gardening, sewing, her dogs, her orchids and doing her diamond dots art. She truly loved life. She is truly missed by family and friends.
