M
y home, my
family, and
that chapter
of my life
may be gone with the
wind, but the memories
are revived each spring,
with the promise of
new life, symbolized so
appropriately by each
new generation of Azalea
Belles.
Geannine M. Boyette practices
in the areas of Domestic and
Criminal Law, dealing with
issues such as Child Custody
and Support, Spousal Support,
Equitable Distribution, Divorce,
DWI, criminal and traffic violations.
Geannine also devotes a fair share
of her practice to defending
individuals against the
Department of Social Services.
But not before my parents’
wonderful garden club friends
rescued me once more, enabling
my husband and me to host the
tea one last time. It was a glori-ous
day, and the Belles seemed to
shine brighter than ever, providing
a beautiful backdrop and framing
so many fond memories. I had
come full circle, ending a journey
that started with aversion and
finished with appreciation for all
things Azalea Belle.
My mom adored her garden
club and the garden club adored
her, so much so that the members
renamed the tea in her honor. It is
now formally known as the Mary
Lou McEachern Azalea Belle Tea.
My home, my family, and that
chapter of my life may be gone
with the wind, but the memories
are revived each spring, with the
promise of new life, symbolized so
appropriately by each new genera-tion
of Azalea Belles. What at first
seemed dreadful so long ago has
transformed me in ways for which
there are no words. Being an
Azalea Belle is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity — a treat that I
would trade for nothing!
