George was a great friend to me and Deborah during our times together, working and playing, in Jackson, MS. He and his family were always kind and generous. I´m going to miss him.

George and I had met each other several years ago out in the community. When I came to work at TOURO, we met again. He was always willing to talk, and talk, and listen. I will be forever grateful that I got to call him friend. Even though he was a n Ole Miss boy! Miss you much, Georgie. Rest well in the loving arms of the Divine. Blessed Be!

And Danny, know that my thoughts and ears are with you. I am always free to just listen. Blessed Be!
