Georgia was such a sweet person. I know she will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Dear Lennie,
I just learned of Georgia’s death tonight. Thelma and Marvin wrote to me, and I am so glad that they did. Unfortunately, I have an appointment tomorrow which I cannot change, so will be unable to attend the services.
I called Virginia Ann and William.
I will be thinking of all of you tomorrow, and of how all of us love Georgia and you, and are
so very sorry to hear of her death.
With love and sympathy,
Marty

I believe I may have been related to Georgia. My 2nd great-grandfather, James Elliott Nesbitt, was married 4 times. His last marriage, according to family information, was to a Mrs. Young, and George Washington Nesbitt was their son.
If anyone reads this and recognizes this information, there are lots and lots of Nesbitts in Arkansas and many other places who would love to know your branch of the family. I am doing genealogy research on the Nesbitts, and I have a lot of information
Hope to hear from someone.
My deep condolences on the death of your family member.
Mary
