Michael and Laurie,

George was my cousin. His mother Aunt Bernice and my mother Mary Esther (Good) Jacobs were sisters. Many the time that we would come to your home in the country and they would do canning while we children (about 12 of us would play). It was also the gathering place when we would have a family reunion. I'm less than a year older than George. I last saw George at Becky's funeral. Wonderful memories.
