I wish to extend our sympathies to George’s family at this most difficult time. We knew George from All Saint’s Parish Community. I always looked for him to be in the pew behind me at morning Mass and at the 8am on Sunday several rows back. As Father indicated in his homily George was all welcoming drawing in those around him. It was my honor this morning to place the Pall over George’s casket wrapping him in the warmth of his faith. May you find peace and comfort in your grief and may George be blessed with eternal rest with the Lord.
In Sympathy and Prayer –
Tony and Mary Amodeo
