I never had the pleasure of meeting Della, but I have worked with George Jr. for many year. I know that his kind heart came from a wonderful woman because behind every strong and kind man is a beautiful woman inside and out. Share stories about the good times and appreciate each other. My family sends all out love.
George and family: My condolences for your loss. Praying for peace and strength during this time.
