It is with sad hearts we wish to express our deep heartfelt condolences in the loss of a unique and very special man – our George. How we will surely miss him.. We find comfort in the hope we read in the scripture found at John 5, 28-29: Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgement.
