Aunt Vera and family sorry for your loss as I am still in shock to hear the news. You be miss Uncle George
My deepest sympathy to Vera and the Bridges family. George was a kind, intelligent,. God fearing man that was truly a “gentle” man. He love his flowers, plants, and above all, his extended family. My deceased wife and I had many discussions with Vera and George in “solving” the problems of the world. Arbor Ridge will not quite be the same without George and all his beautiful flowers decorating Balmoral Drive. Rest in peace my good friend until we perhaps meet again…. Ray Rosati
