Dear Gloria and children, we offer our condolences and prayers. Gloria, you and George were a special team! We are thankful for your love and smiles. Whenever we see the lupins growing wilder and wilder in our garden we smile and are thankful that you picked the pods and your George podded them. You even sorted out some blue pods for us. May you feel the arms of God holding each of you in this sad time.
