Lenora,I pray for you and the Markham family. Hold on to your memories of your son and remember to just talk to the Lord anytime for he is always there and He will help you during this hard time.

Everyone of us that knew George knows that big laugh of his, but as big as a laugh he had; he had an even bigger heart, and those of us that were blessed to know him will remember him for both. God in his infinite wisdom and loving grace decided 42 years ago to bless a select few people the honor and pleasure to get to meet and know one of his angel's/ son's Dawon known closest to him as Jungle George. No matter how much we all loved him God loves and need him more so he called him back home at his rightful place with God I'll continue to find great solace in knowing I'll see my big brother and friend again one day but until that time comes I'll celebrate having you in my life everyday. I LOVE YOU JUNGLE GEORGE RIP

Aunt Lenora and my family,
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven”. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
The bereaved mother, she has experienced the inconceivable and yet she is still able to walk. Allow prayer to settle your souls, and bring peace back into your hearts. We will forever be changed by George's passing, but know that his spirit will forever surround us. Use prayer to let God further heal the void in your hearts, and find comfort and support in the memories and the love that we share as faithful family. Seek days where you are angered less, and filled with more peace. And ask God to teach you how to bend where you once would have broken. I love you all, and as we grieve know that there is encouragement through hope.
