Georgia Ann, Carolee & George, we would like to express our condolences to you and your families for the loss of your father. We have enjoyed wonderful and unforgettable times with your dad Big Z whenever he came to Florida. We will miss him greatly.
Georgia Ann, Carolee, and George,
So very sorry to hear of your father’s passing. I remember fondly visiting your mom and him when I was a child. They and all of you made those visits part of my happy memories in childhood.
While your souls are heavy with grief be aware that those who hold a special place in their hearts for all of you will be keeping not just your father, but all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
All my love,
Punkin Bailey Lanzy
Rest in Peace Uncle George.
