George and family,

Sincerest sympathies for all of you in your loss. It's never easy to bid that last farewell, but we have faith that we will all be united in eternal life. Our prayers are with you.

George and Family, Amy and I send our deepest condolences and send our thoughts and prayers to all of you at this difficult time.

George, I am very sorry to hear of Kristen's passing. She stayed in touch all these years and I always enjoyed reading about her performances and the goings on of the Benjamin family. She will be thoroughly missed, but not forgotten. Richard Griffin

Dear Rachel, Samantha, Jason and George,
