Condolences to the Family

My cousin George (“Georgie”) was very important to me.  Although I grew up in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC, our family frequently visited my Mother’s family in Washington PA, where George grew up.  Hanging out with George and Carol was the highlight of our visit.  George taught me to swim in their neighborhhod swimming pool.  We remained close cousins, reuniting in  Maryland as well as Philadelphia and Sarasota over the years.  George and Linda represented loving  kindness, integrity, and generousity of spirit, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have them both in my life.  Linda I love and admire you so much!
