I am the receptionist at the Girls Salon. I always enjoyed talking with Georgiana. She always made me laugh and when I called to confirm her appointments I made sure I called later in the morning. My husband has pulmonary fibrosis so I understood what she was going thru. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
