Wharton, TX Tuesday, October 29, 2019 GW was such a sweet, kind and humorous guy. I always thought of him more like an uncle than a cousin. I loved him very much and will miss him greatly.Shirley White
Waco, TX Tuesday, October 29, 2019 GW was my favorite uncle. He always had a smile and kind words for me every time I saw him. Gw and Shelia will always be among my favorite relatives! On my mother's side of the family, they were always on my side when 95% of my other relatives turned against me!! GW helped me with expenses when I was having to spend 3 days a week for over 8 months in Houston with my mother at MD Anderson while she was recovering from the bone marrow transplant! No one else even offered to help with the huge expense of gas and car maintenance and loss of wages during those 8 months. No one except GW and Shelia!!! Gw will be missed so much! I know he's in heaven now tremor free!Sheena M Chaytor
