    Synneva and Paul, I wish to extend my deepest sympathies. I remember George as a young boy when our boys played together in the woods between our houses. He had the most contagious smile, and was full of fun. May you find peace in your memories.

    George’s sweet sensitive soul will be sorely missed. A lover of nature from the early years, as a preschooler he brought joy and laughter to us at a family reunion as he proceeded to take frogs out of his pockets. God bless you during this difficult time.

    There are no words to describe the sadness when we learned George was gone. You son was so kind, gentle, and brightened our family’s lives in his unique way. We loved him, and suffered when he suffered. Our heartfelt sympathy. May he rest in peace.
