Laura, sending prayers of comfort and peace. George is amazingly outgoing person. He brightened a room just by being in it. His sense of humor was superb. Always willing to help others and always had a smile. George, you are missed on this earth. You made the world a better place just by being in it. But now Heaven gained an angel. What a beautiful picture of you. I’m grateful to have known you and for our friendship. It’s my understanding that when we depart this earth we take only two things with us. Our knowledge and our friendships. Until we meet again, George.
