Teresa, I knew you before George and then when he came into your life. Together you two were all the more better. He enriched your life and the stories you shared over the years affirmed your love for each other. I am sorry for you and will be praying for you. I love you, Angie |

| George was a wonderful, funny and kind person that I was proud to call "cousin".....We had some special memories that went way back to when he lived in Washington and I was trying to fix him up with my roommate....I don't think we ever got together where we didn't start to laugh about those times...He will be missed greatly but his memory will continue to live on.... |

Dearest Teresa, I ran into your niece a few weeks ago and learned of George's illness. With the greatest of sorrow I saw his obituary in today's paper. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts. The love you and George shared was very special. Cherished memories will help to sustain you and shield you from the pain you are feeling at this saddest of times. |

| My wife Sandra (Weaver) was a year or so ahead of George at NNHS and always liked George and his friendliness he showed all. We last saw George at The Hidenwood (and met Teresa) during the Christmas holidays and got to talk with him. We will certainly miss him and wish all of his family well. Buck Marshall |

Teresa and family, I am so sorry to hear of George's illness and death. You two really packed a lot of love, fun, and adventure into your too-short years together. I pray God gives you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Beth Carroll |

| I send my deepest sympathy to the family of George Morewitz. I have the fondest memory of him holding my hand as we rode our bicycles side-by-side and he sang "Every Day I Love You Just A Little Bit More". We were nine years old. His family moved from my neighborhood not long after and I didn't see him again until we became high school rivals (me at Hampton). I'm sorry you lost him so young. He was a great guy. |

| To all of George's family, I offer my most sincere condolences. I had a long and enjoyable conversation with George at our last NNHS class '57 Christmas/Holiday dinner. It was December 2006, but it seems like only last week. He spoke well and with pride about all of his family. His absence at future class functions will be greatly felt. |
