My deepest sympathies go out to Aunt Nancy, Scheryl, Katie, Doug and the rest of the family for your loss. Uncle George was very comforting for me the last couple of years as I went through my own difficult time dealing with losses. He was a great friend to me and to my dad as well. He is loved by many and will be greatly missed.
