Not sure what to say?

Thought about you this morning and decided to let you know. I wish kids had more say in their parent's relationships, I would have made my Mother marry you, back when I was a kid. I miss you. You taught me so much, not even trying. Now I am missing both you and my Mommy. Thank you for your influence on my life. I miss you.

Great Guy... I remember him dearly. We worked against and with each other for 30 years....

I was riding down Lafayette yesterday, and passed the Co-ops Judge Crockett resided in last I saw him, around 2012-13. I met him while I was working downtown in 2011 - he was as a customer of a cell phone provider I worked for, and would come in to pay his bill. Over the couple of years that I worked there, I learned of his history and background, and after a few conversations with him we began what I would call a mentorship.

Hi, George,
Your legacy page popped up and I realized I hadn't been here in a lonnnnng time. I know you are fine. Look around for Wayne, Jr. He left here on July 7, 2018. All others are well. Your SrSis

Dear Uncle George,I guess I really already knew, but as I was reading Proverbs this morning, God prompted me to Goggle your name. I immediately burst into tears. I am so Glad Antonio and I came over there and brought you cookies. Glad I worked near you, when I did, and was able to drop by. I have so many good memories of you from my childhood. You and my mother, you and I riding up to "TheLake". You taught me how to drive with my knee, unknowingly. LOL. I love you so much. I pray I see again...

I didn't know that george had died. I found out quite accidentally. George and I were classmates at Morehouse. I still have the shoulder holster he gave me . He made it at summer camp. He was smart and fun.

You've gone up yonder, George. When we all get to heaven, what a day, what a day!!! Your SrSis

What a pleasure to have known you. We had many good times. You always kept us laughing. You will be missed. Our prayers are with you and your sisters.

I'm glad to have had the opportunity to be assigned to your courtroom as a prosecuting attorney. You were a challenging personality, always eminently fair to every person present. Occasionally, that dry wit slipped out and it was amusing to watch you try not to smile.

You made me a better lawyer than I might have been otherwise, and I thank you for that. You are, and will be, missed.
