George -
You will be missed. You were always a smiling face to be seen each Sunday and had the energy and willingness to help out in anyway you could be of service.

God Bless You and Rest in Peace

Georgie, I'll miss seeing you on your walks in Florida and taking you to the store during the day. I'll miss hearing you call to Ginger and your smiling face when you'd stop by and visit. It was a gift to meet you and a pleasure to know you. You were always so happy with life. May you rest in peace.

Hugs and love, Gale
