My heart is breaking right now. Fly high George, you will be dearly missed. Paulette, I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed caring for George. He always brought a smile to my face. I wish I had, had the opportunity to take him a ride in my truck like he wanted. I wanted to make sure he was well enough and I guess that wasn't in the cards. Again I am so sorry for your loss
