I am so incredibly sad and shocked about George! I remember George and Liz from their younger days, before children when they bought the house in Carriage Farm! What a sweet loving couple that built a beautiful life together. George will be missed by all. What a wonderful soul!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. George was truly one of a kind. Always honest, true, and so happy. He will never be forgotten.
I will always remember you, little George.
I love you.
