I am soo sorry to hear of my beloved George's passing. I was so privileged to be a part of such an amazing mans life, even if, just as his home care nurse. He was such an amazingly caring and giving man. Loved his family unconditionally. I am saddened for the world to have lost an amazing soul, but so happy that Delores will now have her soulmate by her side again. Fly high George, you are definitely an angels that earned his wings by doing good for all.
