Dear Anne, I send this message with my deepest sympathies for your loss. George was a true inspiration to me and so many other 'new-comers' to AA. I will cherish the times and talks we had together before the Serenity Group meetings, and will always be greatful for his encouragement and the confidence he showed in me by putting me in charge so early in my AA experience. I will miss him dearly and will say the 'Third Step Prayer', which he loved so much, in his memory. God Bless you and your family. Terry Simmons
