George was a good friend of mine, my sister’s and our family. I attended Anderson Memorial Presbyterian Church with him when my husband Weston pastored that church. But even as childhood friends in the little chapel out on Brookmont Road, I loved this “little boy” as he was then. He was a sweet, kind person, as was his dear mother, Hazel, who was killed in a truck accident right there on Washington Avenue on Christmas Eve years ago. I’m so glad to know Duane is with Jesus now! Thanks be to God for His gift of salvation for us unworthy children!
