To the Grove Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about George passing. George was a sweet and kind man. He was one of my childhood sweethearts. I will always remember George,he would carry my books in school and then have to run to make it to his class on time.(Which sometimes he didn't make it) I will be praying for the family, that God wraps his arms around you during this time of sorrow. May God Bless you all.
