So sorry for your loss. May the God of all Comfort be with you during this difficult time. My heart and prayers goes out to the friends and family.

Jo and Family,
I am saddened to hear of George's passing. I always enjoyed my talks with him when walking in the neighborhood. The former gate at your home is now the gate to my parents' patio--he and Dad struck a deal for it. It reminds me of both when I see it. God be with you in your time of sadness.
