We have known George & Anne Marie for 5 years.They are such wonderful people and very easy to Love. George used to tell a lot of silly but good jokes every time we saw him. The thing that bothers me is we can't remember not even 1 of them. He used to call me Merry Tozly and that made me smile. I or We Love him. You and all of us had a wonderful, husband,father, uncle, brother, grandfather and friend. We all still have with us a wonderful mother,sister, aunt, grandmother and friend. Yes George will be missed greatly and dearly by all who know and Love him. You are all in our prayers. We are very pleased that we had the pleasure of meeting such wonderful people such as them. Love Terry Mozzi ( Merry Tozly ) and family plus Annette Budd and her kids.

Dear Anne Marie,
I might not have been with my husband as long as you were but I know what you're going through. Please don't hesitate to call and we'll help if we can. You are all in our prayers. Love Annette Budd
