1 Condolence
One of the first people I met at Acceptance was Georgia Mace. My daughter and I were visiting the company in hopes of solidifying a contract. Georgia was kind, professional and gracious in working with us and I appreciated her genuine interest. Over the last 13+ years, my agency has had the opportunity to work with Georgia on many occasions and every time has been a pleasure. Georgia will be missed. Ann Mullen
