You can’t do anything about the length of your life… But you can do something about its width and depth! So glad you lived by those words and made every second count for not just yourself, but all of us who had the pleasure of having you! Love you more than words Papa.
I have thought about y’all often. Sorry to hear this. Brother George is in Heaven with JR. When JR passed last year, it helped me knowing that I will see him again one day. JR and George are having the celebration of their life. They are in the presence of Jesus!!!!
Such a wonder man of God. He sang at a few of our revivals at Ringgold Baptist Church. I have two or more of his CD’s and I love listening to them.
Helen, my prayers are with you and your family as you go through this time of grief. Praying that God will comfort all of you as not one else can.
Helen and family my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Helen,
I am so happy that I had the opportunity to meet you and Bro. George!Such a wonderful man of God with the voice of an Angel.

Helen, I am so sorry for your loss. I have just now discovered the obituary here on Southern Oaks web site and the funeral is in progress now. I would have loved to drop by and shown my respects but it is too late. Just know, I thought George was one special person. I love to hear him sing and look forward to seeing him in Glory again someday. Judy Kay and I send you our love.
