Saying Good-bye to Our Friend

By Lorraine

We lost a dear brother-in-law this week.
Someone who was kind, compassionate, caring
and thoughtful.
He was bright and accomplished.
He was a hard worker and valued it in others.
He treasured lifelong friendships and was a loyal friend.
He was at home on the water as well as the golf course.
He excelled in business and was always fair.
He helped whenever he could.
He was an encourager.
He had a big, generous heart.

We will miss you much, George.

 

 
 

I don’t have tangible things to show for a friendship that lasted 26 years.

But we have a heart full of memoriesof
family times
wedding times
parties in the backyard times
Christmas times
stopping in for a visit times
new baby times
Brigantine times
boat ride times
eating out times
grandbaby times
serious times
fun timesoh, yes!
The fun times
full of laughter and giggles.

 
Our lives are brighter because you were a part of it.
Love, John & Lorrie
