Uncle George, I will miss you so much , I loved our phone conversations but most of all I loved our visits sitting at the table telling me stories of our family and of your life , I would sit there for hours. You were truly the head of the Goutos family, You cared and loved all your family . I always knew I had a home to go to because you told me your home was always open to me and that meant the world to me, You will always be in my heart . I am so happy you got to meet your grandson George Goutos, you were so proud that he was named after you, All your grandkids were so special you would light up when you would tell me about them you were so proud of them all. You told me that Bianca would call you every day and tell me how she was doing , and and you told me Alexa would come visit all the time and I could see by the photos that you use to light up big big smiles in the selfies Alexa would take of you. aunt teddy was the love of your life ,she took the best care of you , You made every one feel so welcomed. I have one regret that I did not have a tape recorder of your stories in your words , May you rest in peace , Prayers and love go out to Aunt Teddy , Jerry, Nick ,Peter, Barbara , Maria , Alexa , Bianca , Georgie they were the light of your life and for all of the rest of us you touched our life because of the love you had for family and extended family, I could go on and on but my heart is broken ,I will miss you, I love you , and give my parents a hug when you see them , love Carol

My prayers and heart go out to Thea and my family at this time. But we are assured though God's promises to us that this is only temporary. We will join those we've lost again. We must in times like these keep our faith.
