“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love dos not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthias 13, 4 to 8

Sorry for your loss..My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
My heart broke when I heard the news that George passed away. I worked with George at Raymond James several years ago. He was a wonderful person. May God send his angels to comfort you and your family in your time of need. Rest in peace George!
