I’m so sorry to hear of Uncle George’s passing. I was out of town and unable to attend the services, but I did want you to know that I was thinking of you all. I have very fond memories of George and other relatives making music at Grandpa West house ‘up in the hollar.’ I know personnally the void that is left when you lose a parent so I will be keeping you in my prayers. Love Peggy
