Georgeanna and I grew up together in Camden. I spent many hours in her home. I DO remember her love of animals- and I remember when she got a pony – her first horse if I’m not mistaken. My husband and I enjoyed re-connecting with her via Facebook several years ago. Her family -and everyone else who loves her- have my sincere sympathy.

My condolences to the family. Aunt Lula and my grandfather George Middleton were sibblings. I remember many great times spent at family gatherings. We were only 8 days apart in age. We had reconnected on Facebook. Hugs and prayers to all. We know she is watching over us and tending to all of the animals. God bless my Cousin.
