"His Eminence" - The Cardinal, oh how I will miss our conversations, late night texting, and pop quizzes on trivial subjects that you almost always stumped me on. One of the most intelligent men I ever knew, and a complete example of a man of strength. I will miss you my friend, and the world is certainly a place of less character without you. Thank you for allowing me to marry your daughter, she is certainly an image of her father.

Uncle George was one of a kind in all the right ways! I will miss hearing his mischievous laugh on the telephone calls that we never seemed to have often enough. Rest in peace.

My Uncle George was definitely one of a kind. He is one of the few people that I can say ALWAYS had a smile on his face and could ALWAYS make you laugh. He loved his family more than anything, especially his sweet Annette. My cousins...I love you all dearly. Hold tight to your memories and hold tight to each other. I am thinking of you and praying for you all. I love you.
