St. John's will not be the same without George standing at the doors to give hugs, kisses and warm words of praise. I will miss his physical presence in my life; however, his spiritual presence will be with me always. God has bought home an angel who has enriched the lives of everyone he came in contact with.



I am sorry for your loss, GiGi and family. I will keep you in my prayers daily.
