My condolences and prayers to the DeVillier family - my dear friends. I regret that I was unable to attend the funeral due to medical issues. I feel honored to have known George and greatly enjoyed our talks and visits over the years. He and Mrs. DeVillier, as well as the other family members, always treated me as family and I will miss him. If any of you ever need, know that I am only a phone call away.
