    Mary Ann, our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. This is so sudden, its seems as just a couple of weeks since we saw you both. George was such a great guy. He took a lot of kidding from several of us. Playing ball at the field just caticorner from his home, and George being called, by his mother, to come in, as it was time for supper. That was the end of the game, because George owned all of the bats and balls.
    Also playing fast pitch softball, against him, for so many years. Later George managed the Little League team that included Kevin, Kyle and our son Chris. May GOD grant George salvation, and welcome him into His Heavenly home for an eternal life as a member of the Family of GOD.
