  1. Hello. I posted a query yesterday when I learned of my very close childhood friend Georgina's death. I learned of it by receiving her Christmas card back with a note from the current owner of her Savannah home that Georgie died a few years ago. I had lost touch with her and was worried because we would typically talk at the holidays and I never heard from her after last year's card. I sent this year's card and was very excited to receive a letter from Savannah yesterday, until I opened the envelope to see that note. I found this site with only a little information about Georgie's death. I have to tell you I have been completely devastated for the past 24 hours and I am hoping someone who knew the circumstances of Georgie's death, a little about her life in her past few years, will contact me and share what they know. I spent last night digging out our childhood photos together and I am heartbroken to think that she took her own life. I am hoping someone can tell me that that piece is not true. Please, if you have any information, please contact me through this site and I can share my phone # or e-mail address. I spent more time at Georgie's house than I did my own as a child (we lived next door to one another - Evegen who also wrote on this site, lived on the other side of Georgie. We all played together as kids). Diana Adams was like a mom to me; I considered their dog, Pepper, to be my dog too. I have wonderful memories of being backstage during the Nutcracker at the NYCB as well as at the SPAC summer ballet programs when her dad, Ronald Bates, was directing the lighting. Evie, if you read this, please contact me. I've been trying to find you on-line, but don't know where you are. Thank you to anyone who can help me understand this terrible tragedy...........Judiann
  2. evegen - We just discovered this website and your post seeking additional information about Georgina Bates. Our son was with her for several years and we have some photos and info about her. If we can get an e-mail address or phone number for you we would be happy to share it with you. Our son Andy spoke with you on the phone when he and Georgie were together. Please respond. Hello Betty. I just found out about Georgie's death when my Christmas card to her was returned from the current owner of her home advising me that she passed away 3 years ago. As you can imagine, this was quite a shock. Georgie and I have not talked a lot over the years but we typically talked at the holidays. I thought the last time I spoke with her was only 2 years ago, but it must have been 3 given the posts here. Her other cards never came back, and Georgie was never much of a card sender, so I didn't think much of it. Do you have any information about the circumstances of her death? This site is the only thing I've found on-line about her death. Evegen was also a childhood friend. She lived on one side of Georgie's house in NJ and I lived on the other side. I loved her like a sister and I am completely broken at the thought that she is gone. At least I know she is with her mom and dad now. Her mom was like a second mother to me and it was hard enough to take when I learned of her death. Please let me know if there is any information you can share with me. Thank you. Judiann Smith
