Not sure what to say?

I had no idea George had passed away. Condolences to his family. I had known George for years as a dear friend, through rodeos, moving cattle on the farm, catching wild cattle. You will be missed. Love to his family. . . . . Rest in peace my dear friend.

I was just informed of George's passing. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. We had a very special friendship and he will be missed. I find comfort knowing he is reunited with his wife and his dog Sadie. I love you George and may you rest in peace . . . until we meet again!

My deepest sympathy to the Jaehnen family. I will always have fond memories of George cracking his bullwhip at all of us kids.

Tammy Layne and family.
