Love you just as much as I did, and even more.

Basir, Lori and Betty I am sorry to hear about George. He was there when we needed him and did everything he could for us when Donny was sick.and passed away. I will always remember how he accepted both myself and Stasha as family. I know how you are feeling but joy will come with the memories after time has passed that is promised. He is at peace with love and family all around him. If you need anything I will do my best to help. We love you and wish we were not so far away.
