Nelson, Carmen, all of you-

May God be with you at this time. I can't tell you how heavy my heart is. George was a good friend for many years, and he loved you all so much. I know that there is a hole in your family now, one that can never be filled. Knowing George as I did, he would never want fanfare or hoopla... :)He was a one of a kind person, and I will never forget his friendship.

Bless you all at this difficult time.My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love,

Linda Bottaro
