Sending our heartfelt sympathy to Mary George and family during this difficult time.

Mary George I’m so very sorry!! You and your family will be in my prayers!!
Dear Mary George, my heart breaks at the thought of losing Richard. We have been so connected even though so apart for so many years. Richard was part of our family though Jones Timber company and you through our days as Murphy high DBS pledge sisters and then you became a part of our family and me with yours as best friends. You and Richard were family so I am very sad to hear of his passing . It is much harder than anyone thinks to lose a husband after so many years of marriage and after having such a large family . It will take time, but you know I am always here for you! Love you and Richards memory! Sandra
