Not sure what to say?

I worked with George at Bi Lo on Savannah hwy, a wonderful man I will miss.

Mariana and Alex,
I am very sorry for your family's loss. Your family did a great thing by raising George as they did. He proved many people wrong over the years. I know the loss is not an easy one. May you and your family find peace at this difficult time.
Riddell Perry

Mariana, Rhett and Alex I am saddened to hear of your loss. Georgie was truly an amazing guy. His ever present smile and wit I will forever remember. Whether at Bi~lo or working at Croghans he always greeted me with a hug. He often said I love you Kem and I truly loved him too. Rest easy GEORGE, see you again.....

Dear Mariana, Rhett and Alex:
Georgie was such a wonderful part of the lives of all who knew him. Some of us were lucky enough to grow up spending time with you as you took Georgie to the Fort Sumter House Pool to go swimming or snuck him out and back in at the Coastal Center to go on a late night run to McDonalds. He was such a special person from an extraordinary family. Love to you all!

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Mariana, Although we never met Georgie, we have heard so many loving stories about him from Marshall, Lisa and their family. So sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Kent and Karis Johnson

Mariana,
My heart absolutely breaks for you and your family! I am just now reading this and I am an absolute sobbing mess! Charleston will not be the same! Thanks to Georgie, he and your family made a huge impact on the educational system not only in Charleston and South Carolina, but nationwide! We are forever blessed! Love to you all!
