George, you have always been my closest friend and confidante. You were the most interesting and unique person I have ever had the opportunity to meet.

The world has experienced a devastating loss, you had so much left to do. I will never forget you, and neither will anyone else who was fortunate enough to have met you.

I only wish I could have done more. I'm so sorry.

I was listening to Shostakovitch's "Russian Waltz" and it made me think of you...

George, you don't know just how much I miss you. I cry almost everyday just knowing your not here anymore. I'm so so sorry for being so angry, for not being there for you enough, for not talking to you or just calling. I'm just...so sorry I wasn't there for you as your sister, you were my best friend when we were younger, always playing with me and telling me all sorts of fun things you did with friends and how talented you were with different instruments and how much I wanted to be like that. I miss you and would give anything if I could just tell you how incredibly sorry I am.

Your loss has struck me as a deafening blow to the bottom of my heart. I wake to the brightness and routine of a mundane life, at times, denying the notion that you are no longer in this complicated World among us. You brought sunshine into an otherwise dim and desolate room. Your gift of melody and color influenced my music and those of many others. It was a pleasure having you in my home, and filling the halls with the most sublime and exquisite music. We were explorers of authority, breaking through the mold of a confusing and at times, unfair social structure. You have had me experience the miracle of gratitude, love, and undying friendship. May we see each other once more in the beauty of Heaven, my dear friend.
truthfully yours,
Irving Mange

I have been thinking a lot about your family lately and offer my deepest condolences to you for your loss. Jourdan, if you ever need someone to talk to, you have my number.

November 15, 2009

Dear Marie & Jourdan,
Please know that even though we are no longer there physically with you, you are both never far from our thoughts. You were blessed with 21 wonderful years with Georgie. He was a personable and talented young man. Focus on the fun times and the beautiful music that he was able to make come alive on both the piano and violin. Take comfort in knowing that he is burden free and still making his music, but in a better place.
With Deepest Sympathy & Love,
Connie, Chris, Chris Jr. & Brandon

Our piano stands grandly in our home. Seemingly more like furniture than the instument that it is. But, one day, something beautiful filled our home. It sounded like music. No, it was George.

My deepest condolences to all of George's family. He was a joy and a pleasure to be around and always an inspiration to us all. We will sorely miss not only his talent and sense of humor, but his upbeat and gentlemanly manner. He was an awesome friend and will be greatly missed as a member of the team in the church band.

I knew you back in high school. Both of us playing the violen, you being so much more of a talent. I never got to know you well, and I'm sad to say I never got to know the true you. But I can tell you were clever, funny, and kind, and those who got to know you are very, very lucky. But you were gone too soon, and I'll never be ok with that. Rest in peace George.

My thoughts are very much with George and his family at this hard time.
I knew George when I was little. I was about ten. We would play outside all day, he was hilarious,imaginative, talented, but most of all he was smart. He could make anyone laugh with ease without even really trying. One time in particular we were outside, and he said "I'm gonna sit in my throne". Then he sat in a bush. That's gotta be my favorite memory. The last time I had seen him was about 3 years ago.He's a hard one to forget.

At this very sad time my thoughts and prayers go out to Marie and Jourdan.I know Georgie was aware of your love and concern, and he too loved you dearly. I'm grateful I had the chance to have a long conversation with him two days before God took Georgie to heaven. He sounded so good,so happy. We can all take consolation in knowing that Georgie is in a better place now, no longer in pain,and free from all worries. Rest in God's arms, dear nephew. I will always remember you as the wonderful, talented young man you were, and look forward to the day when we will meet again, as God has promised.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Aunt Jeannie
