George leaves a legacy of wisdom, strength and courage. I am glad to have known him and to have taught Eddie. I know his children reflect his teachings as their father and will continue to make him proud.
Leora(I thought your name was Leola) please know that your memories will comfort you as you mourn and that George will always be by your side in spirit. I am glad that our paths crossed.

Much love Jennie J. Jones
