So happy you were here for the family reunion. Enjoyed our time together so much. God Bless my dear cousin Lawana and family.

Dad, I miss you so much I will always have fond memories when I was a little girl. Your were the best dad ever letting me ride with you on your street bike even though you knew you were gonna have to take your belt off to strap it around both of us because You knew I was gonna fall asleep. I loved every minute I got to spend with you especially our gold mining trips, camping, and every year going on a vacation. My favorite trip when I was a kid was going to the red woods and meeting Paul...

I may not have know grandpa my hole life but it sure felt like it. From the beginning he made me feel like I was part of the family. My fondest moments were going gold mining with him uncle mike and Cameron. It was a great day just getting away and hearing stories while he worked me to till my hands bled. Hahahaha I love you grandpa George may you Rest In Peace till we see each other again.

He was my landlord in Barstow. I was living on hwy 58 and I needed to move. I kept looking at these houses across from where I lived. So my boyfriend at the time went over there and talk to him. Brought him over, he said judge me by how clean my stove was. Thank God it was clean enough. Cause we had to move. That is how I met George Morris. He ended up being a great landlord. R.I.P.

Bob has fond childhood memories of camping with George and Lawana. i remember George sleeping on Aunt Bea's floor then getting up to go to work. Bob and I are so happy he brought Lawana to visit with us in Georgia. He was a dedicated family man. We were all blessed to have known him.

Grandpa, I love you so much and will miss you every single day. You have taught me to be hard working and that if you want something then to go work for it. You are an amazing shopping buddy. I will never look at pine cones the same way again. They will always remind me of you. I enjoyed our camping trips, memories at your house by the lake, and your sarcastic jokes. I will remember your strong hugs, prickly face hairs and your cheesy smile for pictures. I will look at rocks I like and...

I remember a funny thing Uncle George did on Pismo Beach when I was younger. He, Aunt Lawana and me were walking on the shore when a couple that was walking in front of us both had hot pants on. One had long beautiful blonde hair and the other short black hair cut like a man. Uncle George whistled at the blonde when Aunt Lawana said "george" and the couple both turned around and the look on Uncle George's face was priceless. Me and Aunt Lawana laughed so hard. The blonde had a dark...
