George,

Loosing both your wife and a daughter is a heavy load to bear. I can not imagine your grief. Hopefully your church family and friends are surrounding you with love and support.

George - I know you and Sue were so crazy about each other. Your anniversary posts always made me smile! I’m so sorry you’ve lost your beautiful leading lady, and tragically, your precious daughter as well.
