    The positive interactions and the competitiveness of Georgia and George, my children when they were in the Kingfield schools would see Georgie every day. A positive smile to begin each day. Eventually family pets were chosen by Erik and Liz, a pair of parakeets, whom were named Georgie and George . A positive greeting by the pair
    Whenever you entered their space. I feel for you all at this time of loss. The Kankainen family
