Dear Dianne, we are so sorry for your loss. We all loved George very much!!! You’re in our thoughts and prayers.
I will miss Uncle George, but more so because I have not been able to spend any time with him for several years. I will keep the times I did get to spend with him close to my heart.
Dianne and Family,
We heard the news yesterday while in New York, our hearts are so sad for you today from the news and that we cannot make it back for the service. Not for George but for all of us who knew George. Heaven’s gain is our loss. George brightned everyone’s life he came in contact with, including ours. It has been our pleasure to get to know you both. It makes that land of Beulah so much sweeter to know we will see him again.
Love,
The Rhineharts
