We will miss you, George. The White Alice family will miss you. While you are up there,see if you can hook up a comm link, we all have some questions to ask... Although I know the comm link is already in place. Via Con Dios, George.

Valerie, Nathan, Tim: Sympathy and thoughts are extended to you at this time. I have experienced the loss of a Father as well. What always brings comfort is the Bible's words that state that we will be reunited with our loved ones. (Acts 25:15) May that bring you comfort and hope as it has me throughout the years.
