Connie and Family, I'm asking our Lord Jesus to hold you all close in His arms during this sad time. We can all rejoice in knowing that George is now free of pain and has been made whole in his heavenly home. I always marveled that he never let his disability stop him from doing anything he wanted to do while also never complaining when he had every right to. He will be missed by lots and lots of friends.
