To my loving family.

Today is the first anniversary of the day our Lord took Georgie Porgie to live in Heaven permanently with Jesus and Mary and all Gods Angels. I think of him so often and shed a tear now and again, also. But these tears are really for myself because I miss my big brother. It starts to get alittle easier (I think) but I still want to go to the phone to call him and then realize that he isn't there anymore. To all my nieces and nephews, brothers and sister, in my mind we are joining hands right now and saying a silent prayer of thanks to God for eracing Georges pains. Till He calls us home, my brother lives on in my memory. I love you all, Aunt/Sister Ele/Leni.

We have so many loving memories of cousin George because he was a man who gave so much of himself. His love of people was palpable. He always made us feel loved. There were times when he was not feeling well, but still he visited Dad in the home, or hospital and finally in the nursing home, and made him laugh. Dad so enjoyed his company and looked forward to his visits. There was never a time when we visited with George in person or on the phone that we didn't end up with a smile. Our love and prayers are with George as well as Anthony, Gabrielle, Patty, and all of his immediate family.

To All Our Family,

I am grateful for the time I was able to spend with my loving brother, Georgie Porgie in January. It was a short week, but we (sister Joan and I) had many laughs with him. I will always treasure these memories together with those of yesteryear. I'm sure we all have such fond memories and will think of Georgie in that context and will once again smile as he would want us.

Michael, Gabrielle, Anthony and Patty, may you find the inner strength to cope with the sorrow you feel knowing that you are not alone with your tears. We pass on, not away, for it is Heaven and the loving arms of the Father that we go to. We shall see him again when our Heavenly Father calls us Home. I love you all so very much and will be in touch.

(Note: I entered my notes to you on March 10th but for some reason they did not appear.)

Kisses and hugs, Aunt Ele

Michael,Anthony,Gabriel @ Patty, My heart is heavy with grief at the loss of my dear brother "Georgie Porgie". I also mourn for you all because I know your loss is as great as mine. He was a caring, affectionate, loving and generous person to all of us and we will always remember the wonderful and very special times we spent together. He holds a special place in our hearts, that little corner thats reserved for family, and each time we think of him, he will still be us.... and each time I see you kids, I will see my dear brother George. I love you all, Aunt Joan

Love to all my "family". Uncle George will always hold a special place in my heart. His heart was warm and I always felt loved. We had a good visit last year and I had looked forward to seeing him this month when I was going to be in Orlando. A part of him lives on in all my cousins and in our hearts. My mom Alex and dad Fred were so happy to see him when he visited. I got to see the pictures mom took. I will keep you all in my prayers and hope to get to Orlando this weekend. Love cousin Lori (Eleanore)

Hi Gabrielle

We are so sorry to hear of your dad and our cousin George's passing. We are related on the Klele side as Johnny's mom Vicki was your gradnfathers sister. Your aunt Ele called us but we have commitments that will keep us from attending the service we so wanted to be at. Your dad lived with Aunt Vicki for awhile after getting out of the service. I spoke with him about thanksgiving time last year and he sounded great. Let me again tell you how sorry we are to hear about his death. Please send me an email at the address included with this message.

Love Johnny & Anita
