Earnestine I can't tell you how sad I was to here of George's passing. But I know he would not want to come back to the pain of his gout and just everyday life. I,m sure he and Rev. Russell are looking down on us with the biggest smiles because their are no tears in heaven and no pain. Love always

I am deeply saddened by Mr. Alexander's death. He was such a kind man. I enjoyed teasing and joking with him when I visited the home. I will truly miss him. May God strengthen Ms. Ernestine and his family during this difficult time.

I am sorry to hear of your lost. I always admired George for the way he walked (in a straight line, and talk. He always carry himself with a smile on his face, and spoke friendly to everyone that came in contact with him. He was devoted to his wife and his church. He will surely be missed by The McNeal. May God continue to Bless you.
