Sammy, Daniel and Sandra,
I am at a loss of words. George was an amazing man who had the warmest welcome anytime I would come over. He was, to say the least, SO VERY proud of both his children. You can see it on his face anytime we would be in the kitchen talking, how his face gleamed with happiness. Though this is difficult, he will guide you all and give you all the strength to keep moving forward. Our dads are together, watching over us. Our guardian angels.
May George rest in eternal peace. Love you all, and always here for you.
My deepest and sincerest condolences to the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May George rest in eternal peace.
Daniel, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this tragic time
