Dolores & Family:
I am an old childhood friend of George. We grew up in Whitinsville, Ma, and lived on the same steeet and went to the same schools. I want to extend my sympathy to you and yours, and tell you we are sorry to hear of his passing. This includes my husband also.

Dear Dolores,

Our prayers are with you in your grief over the untimely passing of George. You most of all will miss him dearly. Mary and my fond memories of George extend back to our years in elementary and high school with him in Whitinsville MA. He and I also shared college and LXA fraternity life together at Norwich University Northfield VT. He rests in peace.
And the Lord be with you.
