Rose, Justin & Neil,

He's in heaven I know he is
Watching over his wife & kids
There's a reason god needed him more
Someday we will know what for

A husband, A father to the end
A hero now, and what a friend
A son that was there for his parents each day
Helping out in anyway
A brother, A uncle to call anytime
Would be there at a drop of a dime

George, Georgie, and Mousie
Just to name a few
WE WILL ALL MISS YOU!!
LOVE,

Jennifer Burns-Epstein

Dear Rose,Justin & Neil,Laurice &Victoria,Della & Raymond,
My heartfelt sympathies and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.
I had the pleasure of being a neighbor and childhood friend of George and Laurice, (along with my brother Nick!) My memories are all good , with George (Georgie) always laughing and making even the most boring times, fun!! This incredible tragedy can NEVER diminish all the love and joy he so generously provided. I have no doubt George is sending you his love and prayers from above...as well as sending his COURAGE and STRENGTH, as his spirit surrounds you throughout your earthly life. I believe that when great and good people (like your beloved husband, father, brother, and son) return to our Lord, they are blessed to make their presence known in small ways to those that they had to leave behind. If you pray, and look for these signs, you will feel and know that his spirit lives on, in, around, and with you FOREVER...
I, along with my family, will be praying for healing and special miracles for you to feel his presence, when you need him most. God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Debbie (Mariano) Grillo
