George, Dad, Bubba
You have been an inspiration to us all
A dad, a mentor and the best man we know
We love you with all our hearts
It's ok if you want to let go
You will always be in our memories and hearts
Each day we will carry your love
We know you will be looking down on us
From the heavens up above
Heaven will be lucky to have you
So others can experience what we had
An inspiration to all of us
As a husband, a bubba and best dad
This is not a goodbye or farewell
As one day we will meet again
You will always be in our hearts
Sending hugs & kisses until then
Love From All of Us!
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, donations and kind words.
