George and Mollie use to come into my Aunt and Uncles shop in Cambria and they were always such a joy. She loved collecting her Sandra Kuck plates. I was at their home with a delivery and I will always remember how comfortable their home was and you could tell how much their grandchildren meant to them. A whole lot of love was in that home. I'm sorry for your loss.
