To the McLaurin Family:
Sorry to hear of George's passing. Played golf with George on many occasions as I was known as George#2 while he was playing with the group. The group will surely miss George. He was a nice guy. May God Bless his family during this time of sorrow and may George rest in Peace!

Aunt Mae and Family...I'm very sorry I could not be there with you today...Uncle George was very special to me and I always looked at him as a stern but fair man. In the last few years I've been blessed to really get a chance to see how much love he had for his, our family..just watching how happy he was just "eating Chicken" (our joke).Please know my heart at this moment has mixed feeling but it is there with you. I love you Aunt Mae...always will, I'm sorry about YOUR best friend.
