Not long after opening my salon at Westlakes Studios Georgene popped her head in wondering if I might have an opening for a cut and color. I did and it was a match made in heaven. George was one of the kindest most loving and endearing people I have ever met. She will be sorely missed by family and friends. It was my honor and extreme pleasure to have had her in my life❤

Georgene was a wonderful welcoming person. I will always remember her kindness to all she encountered.
John 14:2-3: Jesus tells his disciples, "In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also"

1 Thes 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
