I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you in this time. I will miss Uncle George and the color and vibrancy he brought to my world. It feels as if an era has come to an end. He brought the "old" days to life for me. Please know that Uncle George was well loved and will be missed.

Dear Chriss, Dori, Peter, and family,
Ray and I will miss George terribly. He was always there for us and he and Chriss were like a Mom & Dad to us.
I still see them sitting out front or in the dining room window or in the yard always working.
Our prayers are with you all now and always. We will always consider you our family.
Love,
Chery & Ray Johnson
