My deepest sympathy to the family of George, I first met your dad when he was at Country terrace with your mom Royetta..my mom Honorinda was also a patient..your dad befriended my mother and myself..Your mom passed away, than my mom passed away than I found out that George had been moved to Longworth..I continued to visit your dad occasionally at Longworth and we always had some nice visits...on Dec. 12, I once again went to visit George, you see I'm on my way in a week to go visit my son in Mexico city, and I'll be gone for a couple of months and wanted to be sure to say goodbye to my dear friend George..when I arrived at Longworth I sadly found out that he had passed away..I write this to let you know what a gentle, kind man your dad always was to your mom, to my mom and to myself and anyone else that crossed his life..I would watch him at Country Terrace take such good care of your mom and I would look in awe, at his dedication and love for his wife..I am so sorry that I didn't hear about his passing, I would have loved to have met his family that he so lovingly talked about..My deepest sympathy..Teresa Da Ponte
