Gayle - George had such a kind heart which will never be forgotten. He was always good to me and worried about me and my family. We never know when it is our time for the good Lord to bring us back home. It is never easy. George loved you very much and he loved his family. I feel very blessed to have his love and kindness. He will always have a special place in my heart. Love both of you very much. You will be in my prayers always. Love, Linda Roy
