Cheryl, Jason, George, Mike, Mark and Families
You know that you are in my prayers and that i will always be grateful that George was a part of our lives. Ed had a great boss and friend. Had it not been for him over the past many years we could have been down and out but George always protected and took care of Ed. Ed and George are now together again but i think this time they will be fishing. God Bless You Always. Love Barb
