Booger,

You have been one of my closest friends for so many years now. I just can't imagine you not being in my life. I will always remember how much fun we had cooking together, all our vacations we went on, and just hanging around the house eating ice cream and watching movies. I'm going to miss doing all of those things but not as much as I'm going to miss you! Your memory will live on in my heart and through all the funny stories you left we with and there's a bunch of them. Rest in peace my friend.
XOXOXOXOXO

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

George was like a brother to our family we never had, always putting others before himself and no matter what anyone needed even if it was a smile to lift their spirits he saw to it that it would be given. He will be so missed, I know he is the newest angel in heaven looking down upon everyone especially Staci and his children who was and always will be his pride and perpose in this world, on this earth and in heaven.

I had the pleasure of working with George at Entergy, it was a shock when we heard the sad news of his death. He was a fun guy well respected by his coworkers, may his soul rest in peace.

I have only known George since he joined our group in Sept. 2007, and he has always been one of those people you enjoy being around. He had a good sense of humor and you could tell by the way he talked about his family that they were his life. George was a good man, and will be sadly missed. My condolences to his family.
