Dear family,
My heart aches from the grief that you are suffering.
Knowing of God's embracing love for you, continue looking to him when " He will wipe out all tears
from our eyes, death, pain, and suffering will be no more. " - Revelation 21: 3,4
He says death is an " enemy that will be brought to nothing. " 1 - Corinthians 15:26
It comforts our hearts to know this pain will be a thing of the past and through Christ a
resurrection of our loved ones.
We " do not sorrow just as the rest do who have no hope! " 1 Thessalonians 4:13
love from a stranger,

George was a very kind quiet man. Never a frown or complaint, always with a smile. He was a dear friend. Anything he could do to help he did. It was sad to see him retire, but am happy I was able to speak with him before he passed. He is greatly missed. An angel gone home. Blessings to Mrs. Hope for keeping in touch. Thank you for sharing your brother with others.
Hope and family I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. George was a very gentle soul and he loved to eat! He will be missed. I talked to George a lot when I was helping take care of him and visiting him and for the most part he listened but sometimes he would just look at me and the look away. But he would always answer my questions. Either by a soft response or a head nod yes ir no. One day we were out on the balcony listening to music. I asked George if he'd like me to sing a song. He said "yeah". As I started singing his face lit up I could tell it touched him. When I finishing up the song Tina had come out to check on us and she saw the look on George's face. She was like wow Sabrina you could tell he enjoyed that. His face lit up! I asked him did he enjoy that song and he quietly said "yeah" and nodded his head. I was so happy that he enjoyed it. Cause I'm kinda shy but there's some thing about music that smoothes the soul. It was a pleasure sharing music with George. Till I see you in paradise George rest in peace.

I met George and family in 1968. At that time he was a teenager. He was always quiet and gentle, never a trouble maker. Very kind and peaceful. I will always remember him with great respect.
My bro George was a very shy person . But he was a hard worker .
When he was a teenager him and his bro David brought lawn mowers so they could cut people grass and make money to buy school clothes .Then in their senior year of school they both worked after school at Burlington Mills Factory from 4 to midnight and back to school the next day never missing their classes . They along with their Bro Tyrone who worked also would help the family paying bills and buying groceries. The reason why because daddy was disabled and not able to work .
George also studied the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. He qualified to go out in the ministry to talk to people about the Bible . He went on Bible Studies with his bro in law
C Nathaniel Wilson . He was always able to share research points from the Book Aide to Bible Understanding Book . The Bible students enjoyed his points he had research . He attended meetings at the Kingdom Hall , assemblies and large conventions such as the one in Alanta Georgia in 1978.
George was shy and quiet but had a lot of good knowledge stored in his memory .
We long to have the " Grand Family Reunion " in the paradise Jesus promise will be on this earth .
I am very very sorry for your loss family...Mr George to me was a gentle man, but also a man who did not want women to take care of him for he was a real man.
Sabrina and I won him over by reasoning with him. I will never forget one day Sabrina didn't come and we had to take him to the Dr.
It was icy on the steps. Hope, his sister broke up as much ice as she could..Mr George and I came down those steps express, he fell backwards in the wheelchair and I rolled forward over him to the side... 😂 I said to him " Mr George this is the first time I fell for a man.. he smiled...he was fine but we couldn't find his lens to his glasses..it was stuck on him. Very dignified man, and I will miss him...looking forward to seeing him in the new system of things based on John 5:28 & 29 and Isaiah 33:24..
What a wonderful family as well.. thank you for that opportunity to know Mr George 😀!!
I met George a short time ago, he was very nice and soft spoken. I'm really glad I got to know George and look forward to seeing him in the new world to come.
My sweet brother George who wouldn't harm a fly. He was a very soft spoken and a very kind hearted brother. As growing up he would always buy us anything we needed. I remember my younger sister, brother and I was sitting on the porch talking about we would like to have a bike one day and he heard us talking about that, so the next day we came home from school we saw he had brought all three of us a bike. What a sweet brother he was and I will miss him. 😥 I look forward to seeing him again in perfect health. ❤️
