Richard and Joan,

This comes at a sad time and I am here for you at any moment. "GeGe" was known by many and adored by all. She was the breath of fresh air that shielded her personification for those who had the pleasure of knowing her. Having met her only once,the statuesque of brilliance can never be forgotten.
