    George and families,

    My heart broke hearing about the passing of sweet Helen <3 My Friday nights serving at Crabbies will not be the same without her. But I know George will still come for a night cap and we will have a glass of Pino or a Swedish berry martini waiting for her. Serving both George and Helen on Friday nights after finishing my 8-4 Nursing shift in London was one of the things I looked forward to, to get me through those 14 hour work days over the last 10 years working @Crabby Joes Exeter. Rest in the sweetest peace Helen, I'll watch over George for you down here. Deepest condolences to George and families at this hard time, xoxo Maggie
