Margaret & Family,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the sudden loss of George. He was one of a kind, would do anything for you, had lots of friends, never met a stranger and will be missed by many. Unfortunately, the flu has taken up residence in our home for more than two weeks and continues to be here even now. We were so sorry to miss the arrangements but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Margaret, we are so very sad to learn of your loss. I only met George the one time but knew right away he was a man of many stories. Condolences also from my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Dearld who met him the same day and also from my brother, Fred Huber.
“My Deepest Condolences go out to the Taylor family, God’s word saids, at Isa 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever,……And will wipe away the tears from all faces.
