Dearest Sunny,

I'm so sorry to hear of George's passing. You are both so dear to me and Frank and still so much part of the McCallum tapestry. You left a little part of yourselves here, after all those hours of volunteering and I can feel it! Lots of love to you and the family. Take good care of each other.

George Evans was, simply put, the very best -- sweet, kind, funny, gentle, loving, and more. I'll miss his smile, many jokes, and the promise of a trip to Tahiti with Mr. Bond.
