There is nothing more comforting than knowing that our loved one is at peace and no longer confined by earth's tethers. Uncle George was fun and loving and always carried a presence of comfort and strength. My love and condolences go out to you today, Aunt Sylvia, Susan, Tim and to all of his grandchildren, Heather, Cale, Hannah & Wesley. May you have peace today as you celebrate his life and the legacy of memories and faith-filled example he showed you. Love, Kristi
