Dear Donna and family, I am sorry to hear of the passing of George. He was such a big part of Michael and my life. Going on rides with him following the back roads to beautiful places in Ma and NH. Visiting you and George at the lake house. All of us going for Chinese dinner together. Meeting all the kids and grandkids. I know they are riding together in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love Tammy
