Words cannot even begin to describe the privilege it was to be one of Mr George's nurses. Mr George was more than a patient he and his wife became more like friends! Seeing Mr and Mrs George together always brought a smile to even my toughest days. My heart breaks for the family's grief but I also rejoice knowing I will see you again one day in paradise! Love you Mr and Mrs George!

What I am feeling right now is hard to put into words. Charlie had such admirable qualites. His intelligence, strength and generosity will not be forgotten. He taught me as a young girl to always "use good old common horse sense." I've passed this mantra unto my children. Take comfort in knowing that we love you and pray that the wonderful memories you shared will bring you comfort. Ron and I are sorry that we could not be with you now but hope we can be together soon. Our love to all Barb and Ron
