Mr. George was one of my favorite patients and not because he always brought candy to the office for us ladies. He liked to visit and give me a hard time and he took it in return with a smile. I Loved making his day and helping him with what ever he needed at the time. Sometimes he came it wasn't for anything but just some small talk. I am so glad I was able to help him during one of his rehab stays. I stopped by and dropped off what he needed and he was in the window waving. I stopped and talked a min or two and you could tell he was happy I had come. When I think of Mr. George it will be with fond memories. He will be missed.
I will say a prayer for his family and friends as they say good bye for now.
Sincerely,
Ann Cartwright at Taylor Hearing Centers

Bro George will be greatly missed. It is strange walking into the Church building and his pew is empty. We loved him very much.
