    To all the family and Johvon: I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Georgene. I know the pain of losing a loved one and mother. She is now resting in Jehovah God’s memory and he does not forget those who have shown love for his name. I hope to see and laugh with her and others I have lost again in Paradise on earth.

    I’m sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with her in her home. She was such a beautiful soul, the many giggles we had anytime we walked the halls will forever be in my heart and mind.

    Georgene I’m truly blessed to have had you in my path. I will always remember the simple joy you would have from us raiding your neighbors candy bucket for tootsie rolls.

Testimonials

October 22, 2015

We want to thank Mike for the kindness and special attention he gave us for our mother. Marcella Conley. He came in the middle of the night himself to pick her up and take her to the funeral home. For the things that had to be taken care of, he told us not to worry; that it would be taken care of by him. Thank you also Mike for singing at her funeral, especially her favorite song, Amazing Grace. Thank you and all of your staff at Draeger-Langendorf.

Joan Schrader and family
