    Dear David, Wayne, Linda and Mark,
    My mother who has been in Florida will miss the funeral but will pray daily for George, they have been close neighbors for many years and was sadden by his death, I will help in singing the Requiem High Mass , and will send masses for his soul. I was so glad Father Devillers went to the house last summer to see George and also giving him the last rites within hours of his death. I will never for get in my prayers,
    Paul
