Dear Girls,
Laura & Henry (my children) and I had hoped to hear about a Memorial Service to attend, but when we didn't, we decided we needed to write. We are so sorry for your loss - we know how hard it has been for you all these past few years with your dad's failing health. Please give your mother our love.

My sympathy to your family. I grew up with George at Myers Park Baptist and graduated in 1955 from Myers Park HS. He was always a friend and a real gentleman.
