May I express my sadness at the recent passing of my spiritual brother, my friend and equestrian mentor, George Isham. Growing up with his two older boys and spending time with the entire family, are among the fondest of all my childhood memories. He always treated me like I was one of his own. For that, I will always appreciate his example of kindness and generosity.
My daughter spent all of 2013, living in Kingman AZ. Fran and Austin Cooper, made her feel like one of their family, as well. So I am doubly saddened to have lost Fran, mere weeks after George's passing. So to Dorothy, Diane, Terry, Cindy, Andy and Randy... I love you all and join you in waiting for the blessing of the resurrection, when we can all welcome back George, Gary and Fran. I miss then all very much!

Dear Aunt Dorothy and Cousins, Kelly and I are sincerely sorry to hear of Uncle George's death. I have many fond memories of him while growing up in Phoenix. He loved teasing me and I eventually loved all his teasing. He will be dearly missed by all of us. We send our love to all of you.

Dorothy and all the family. We are so sorry about George's death. We do know though that you and the kids did so much to make his last days more comfortable. We are, however, not lost without a solid "hope". In our mind's eye we can still George either sitting in his recliner or grabbing up the cowboy hat to go sit on the back patio. He really was quite a guy! We sent our warm love and condolences to the family. Austin and Fran

I worked for many years with George at Roosevelt. What an entertaining,
dedicated & dependable man. I loved to see the shine in his eyes when he would get a new picture of one of his grandchildren, he'd brag for days & show everyone. I am grateful to have known George.

Dear Aunt Dorothy and all my Cousins,
We are so sad about Uncle Buck! I will always cherish my great memories of him. He was such a character (along with my Dad)! I will miss all the great laughs he gave everyone!! I loved the obituary. He truly did love his family so much and always loved all children. He was a really good man and I know all of you will miss him alot. Much love to all of you. Love, Rita
