You were easily the life of the party at any get together and your humor was unmatchable. I am grateful and honored to have known you all of these years and thank you for always sharing your Reece´s cups with me. Your family misses you dearly. Rest easy big guy...your name, memories, and humor will be carried on forever.

Grampy, my heart feels broken but my brain tells me to feel lucky. Lucky that your mind and body are whole again. I wish I could make you a big meal just for you to deny it and ask me for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You kept us laughing and never once complained, definitely the toughest person I have ever met. Leah is so sad that you are no longer with us I know she will keep your memory alive. Luke already does so many things that we call him Grampy at least once a day. (He is silly and care free just like you). I love you Grampy and I miss you.

Please except my deepest sympathies as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you be comforted by the loved ones and support of God.

George what I will miss most is not listening to your humor. You always was a joker and could see humor in most situations happy to have spent time together. You were a joy to be around even if you weren´t feeling well.

To my grandpa George (Grandpa Great to my kids). My favorite memory of you is calling me Sunday mornings to tell me about the Mark Trail comics. Even if I didn´t answer you would leave me a voice mail telling me " Alyssa, this is your grandfather. Call me back." You may not have had a lot but you loved us and you would drop anything and everything to help us. Including laying my carpet in our first home when you probably shouldn´t have. I have fond memories of you coming to our house to "supervise" the remodeling process. I would call you when my washer, dryer or AC wasn´t working. I would pick you up and somehow you managed to fix it all. You loved to be involved in helping any way you could and I know you loved it. You got to see me graduate nursing school, buy my first home, get married, and have babies of my own.
I remember sitting by your bedside in the hospital several years ago when you were very sick thinking if this was your time to go that it was ok. But, it wasn´t. You held on strong for many years after that to meet both of my babies. Your name will forever be with us (The George family). I have peace knowing that you are safe in Gods house now and free of pain. I pray that you show us your presence when it is needed. Please watch over my mommy as I know she is struggling. Give grandma Becky a hug and kiss from us.
I love you forever and always.
Your first and oldest granddaughter.

Dad,
Last time I saw you, I told you it was ok to let go, that we would be ok....we are trying. Although this is so hard I am happy your body and mind no longer suffer and you have all your wonderful memories back.
I also told you what a great father you were... you said " I was just ok". Well daddy you were the best OK dad. I know you were not perfect, but you were perfectly made for me. Your grand babies and great babies will miss you and I will make sure they know how funny you were, even to the end still making us laugh.
I hope to continue to make you proud and be the best OK daughter forever. Until I see you again. Please behave up there with your brothers and don't give your mom and dad too much trouble. May you be wrapped in all the love of those that left before you.
Love you Daddy

Mr. Bennett,
I never got the chance to meet you but I was taught numerous lessons that I will carry on with me for my entire life from your son, Coach Bennett. He taught me the value of respect for my parents. He taught me that life goes on much after sports and a education is one to take you through life. All of these lessons I know were taught to him by you and it is truly an honor that he passed them to me. May you Rest In Peace sir!

Such a difficult and strange thing to suffer the loss of a father and it is still fresh to me. As difficult as it is, we find comfort knowing He is with Jesus and completely whole and free! I know enough about you to know you are an amazing son and his legacy continues through you! I love you brother and am here for whatever you need! I don't care if it's 4am call me if you need someone to talk to 352 777 3633

George, I am lucky you were in my life. So funny, so caring. You loved Peggy and your kids so very much. You would help anyone. You always collected discarded items from working then bring them to me cause you thought I would like to have them. I still do have them. :-) I am sad.
See you on the other side... Love your sister-in-law, Deb <3

Dad, you were my first and only hero. Losing you has been harder than I ever could have imagined. I have felt your presence since you passed and I know you´re watching over us. The void I feel is incalculable but I will move forward with you in my heart. I will carry your spirit with me every day of my life. I am proud to be your son. Keep your arms around us. I love you and miss you forever.
