George MUSHINSKY

Dear Kate, I changed my name years ago but Sky and I were very close in 4th and 5th grade. We lost touch when I suddenly moved away and never met again. Sky lifted me up and was wise and kind to me when I was struggling, he kept seeking me out when I pushed him away, and I just hope he understood. When I was the most lost in life, I thought of my companion Sky and what decisions he would want for me. I think about him especially this time of year and on 5.18 which is coincidentally my...

Kate and family,

I will always have fond memories of George as a vibrant 7 or 8 year old when I lived in Williamsburg. I am very saddened to hear of your loss and know that I am thinking of you during this difficult time. Holding you in the light...

Dear Ms. Mushinsky,
I only met George once, seven years ago, but he made such a lasting impression that I've never forgotten him. He was the 5th grader that overtook my 4th grade son, David, at the last moment in "Accelerated Reader" points at Achilles Elementary. During the presentation of the awards, George was so gracious, shaking hands with my son, thus making a younger student feel OK about not winning 1st place. He seemed like such a bright, kind, exceptional child and although...

ms. Kate,
I'm so sorry for you loss. I'm not sure if you remember me. George, Dylan, and I were best friends in elementary through middle. After all these years I really feel I should have kept more in touch with him. The last time i talked to him was last year but George was always on the run doing something..... I'm truely Sorry for your loss... I wish I was there..... I send my respects from afar

Sincerly

"Sky" was just my waiter at Fridays but he was such a sweet guy... As a joke I wrote my phone number on a cocktail napkin and left it in with the check after I had told his manager that he was a fantastic server on his first night! I went back a few months later on my birthday and he happened to be my waiter again and remembered me like it was yesterday. I recall him saying "I would say your face is to pretty to forget but you deserve a better pick up line than that" I will never forget him!...
