My 2nd daddy and PaPa George to all my grandkids. He had his arms on my shoulders as they took my deceased dad out of our house. He agreed to fill that void in my dad’s absence, and he certainly did. Known him since I was 3 years old. Loved him dearly
Brenda,

Dr. Smith, Mary and staff

Love the Boudreaux Family.
