Although I did not know George well, it was the peace and love of God in his eyes that always reminded me of the song,
 
Jesus loves me this I know,
For the Bible tells me so,
little ones to Him belong,
We are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes Jesus loves me,
Yes Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.
 
God bless you all.
