Dawn and Family, I am so sorry to hear of George's passing. I really loved the connection we made over the years in getting to know you both. He was a unique man with a great sense of humor. It was a pleasure knowing him and I send my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Dawn and family, I am so sorry to hear of George's passing. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in all your wonderful memories.

We extend our deepest sympathies at this time and thank you for entrusting us with the care of your loved one.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
