Becky and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of George. Know that you all are and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. It can be a difficult time but always with the faith that through God's grace it is only the blink of an eye until you are together again.
Sorry to hear of the passing of George. You all are in my prayers. God be with you.
June and family, I am so sorry you all lost a wonderful husband, dad, grandfather and father-in-law (Did I miss anyone?) George was a wonderful classmate and friend. He was forever smiling "back in the day" and his love of music never left him. George unselfishly served his country well in Vietnam with not one, but two tours of duty. I enjoyed the conversations we had before he left us. He will be missed, but we can rejoice in that we shall see him again! Blessings upon all of you!
Dear Becky, Mary & the Collins family,
Don't know if you remember me from
WH & the WHBC. I was saddened to hear of George's passing. I didn't know him well, but remember him at the store in Helena. My Mom thought he "hung the moon." May God be with the family as you'al go through this valley. My prays are with you all.
Mrs. Junebug, Tracy, and Michael; so sorry for your loss. We will miss his smile. Lots of good times spent with him. Love y'all.
