Although George and I were not able to be with you today we are with you in spirit. It's always difficult to find words to share in times like these because no matter what's spoken it can't fill the hole in your heart. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
