So sorry for your loss Diane♥️George was a great man and a gentleman.. he will also hold a special place in my Heart ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Sending all our love to Aunt Diane, and wishing we could be with you now. Your loss is deeply felt by us, and we hope you can take some small solace in knowing that Uncle George has a permanent place in our hearts.
He touched us deeply with his sunny outlook, his cheeky humour, his consistent thoughtfulness and his warm-hearted & inclusive nature. He leaves a beautiful legacy behind in our hearts. He showed us what family means, and made our world better and brighter.
Love Annah, and his great nieces Isidora & Carla Jimenez.
George was a very special part of my life as he was my brother who I rarely saw. I missed him so much for decades and now I will not be able to see forever or be with him. He always had an impact on my happy memories of him when I lived in Chicago. I live with happy memories with him though I lived so far away in Australia. Love always , his sister,, Ginny Herts
