Mourning the loss of a dear loved one in death, is difficult and painful. The shock is amplified even more when it is unexpected. May you take comfort in knowing that death does not end it all. God promises “that there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15). There is real hope of been reunited with our love one in the soon to be restored earthly paradise.
We are so sorry to hear about the unexpected departure of your son. Our hearts ache for you. God has him watching over all of your loved ones. May he RIP Patti (Gordon) & Dale Visyak
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember him from high school–such a nice guy! He always made me laugh, and he genuinely cared for others. May he rest in peace.
Heartfelt prayers to the whole family. I will miss that smile!
You will be missed by all those you have touched. God has gained a great angel. You will be with family in Heaven and someday we will all be together again. My prayers go out to all those who were blessed to have been a part of your life on earth.
Our hearts absolutely ache hearing this tragic news. George was the most kind and generous person you could ever meet. We are so glad we got as much time as we did with him, being roomates in GA. George was also a Groomsman in our wedding and surprised us by dressing up as a Chicken to lead the Chicken Dance!! He will never be forgotten. We love you George! Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wonderful family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of George and how we jokingly ended up “neighbors” more than once over the years. I hope you all find peace and rejoice in the memories!
Georgette and Joe

May the good Lord be with you at this difficult time. We never got to know George, but we know you Joe and that tells us he must have been a kind, good-hearted and caring person. Take comfort in knowing that George is on a journey we will all take one day, a journey to a most beautiful and peaceful place. Remember the good times, they are forever.
