My Dearest George,
I will miss you in body but you will always be in my heart. Thank you for allowing me to take care of you during your time at the "hill". We had a lot of laughs and a lot of "arguements". You were not only a patient to me you were a family member. With everything you were going through you always asked me about my father, which I relayed back to the "motherland" and only you should know you were asked about as well. Thank you for all the M and M's.....you know me I got cranky... however they never kept me out of your room. All the times you told me to "go away"....remember I have a badge and all the M and M's no matter how hard you tried wouldn't get me out of your room. Thank you for having me at your home I had a really great time as I sat at your dining room table as you yelled at me from your couch. It is so hard to go to work and see "your room". I hope you hear me say "Hello George" everytime I pass by. I will miss you my dear friend.

George was a warm hearted and giving person. He never had a mean thing to say about anyone. His life was too short and he will be missed dearly. I'll always remember his smile and his laugh. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sharon.
