We are so sorry for your loss. When I found this today and saw George’s smiling face it made me smile so big. I was telling Shelly that I always remembered his smile. He lived a wonderful life and I know that the grief is too hard to take at times but I hope that everyone can receive some comfort in all the love of friends and family and all the wonderful memories you all have.
My sincere condolences,
