George was a wonderful son, husband, father and grandfather. His life was an example to those he loved. He believed in hard work. He was a Believer in Christ. He left this world softly and peacefully between midnight and dawn after a courageous fight with cancer, even though here on earth it appears George lost the battle, He is Victorious in Christ! |
