I'm sure the Hickses weren't all that thrilled to see so much of us, but they always made us feel welcome. After Mr. Hicks died much too early in life, I was so impressed that Mrs. Hicks took such loving care of the new home the two of them built together in Whitesburg. Though I don't get back to East Tennessee as much as I would like, my heart remains there. Mrs. Hicks was blessed to live a long and meaningful life -- one that meant so much to so many others, including myself. To Cheryll and family, I offer my sincerest sympathy and want them to know that I continue to remember them in my prayers.

As one of my Great Aunts, Aunt Georgia will remain in my heart as a gracious lady who was beautiful inside and out. In 1998, when she met my son, Noah, she was excited to have a baby named after her father. This past summer, we looked at pictures of her parents, brothers and sisters. Her face lit up when looking at her family. I am saddened by her loss. I hope Cheryll and her family will be able to find comfort knowing Aunt Georgia lived a full life, touching the lives of many.
