Sharon and the Hunsucker Families,
Our Deepest Sympathy to all of you on the passing of George. We have wonderful memories of George coming to my parent’s house to drop off his television to be fixed. He always teased, was jovial, and smiling all the time. He will be missed! May God provide each of you peace, comfort, strength, and encouragement daily. We will be keeping all of you in our daily prayers and thoughts. May God bless all of you.
In Christian Love,
Norris & Ivene Cozort
