I'm sorry George has gone. I find it difficult to like people, but I liked George. I'm glad I got to meet him those few times.

"Our eyes do not see you,
but we have this excuse:
Eyes see the surface, not reality,
though we keep hoping,
in this lovely place."
We'll miss you George....

Dear Lou...Seems like a million years ago when you two were married...I can recall a party in your home many years ago, when the house was filled with politicos and neighborhood friends. It was a strange mix and everyone had a great time. Our years working together were filled with your grace and dignity and good humor, helpfulness and candor; that's how I think of your home and family. best wishes for healing and hope and wholeness in these difficult days.
