Dear Toni and Joe,

I am so sorry for your loss. George was an amazing person who inspired me with his warm and caring nature. It was my great privilege to get to know him over the past 10 years. Thank you for being such wonderful caregivers for him as he battled cancer - you did a great job.

Toni, Katie, and Jackie,

I loved spending time with your dad when we were involved in the Junior Choir at the Cathedral. He was so proud of all of you. He would light up every time we'd perform. It was wonderful to watch him stand in the pews with you on Sunday. May his memory be eternal!

George was always there whenever he was needed. He works quietly without the need for praise or attention. Sometimes, only he and God knew, but that was enough for him. He will be missed.

My heart is as broken as yours at the loss of this wonderful, Christian and gentle man. Your family has been a big piece of my life and this loss is a big one for all of us. May his memory be eternal.

We can't begin to express our sympathy to both of you. Your father was a gentleman always. Uncle George was top notch. He was very caring and kind. He will be sorely missed.
With love,
