When I think of George Aday this is the song that I hum. On the last, he did not get there fast as he could not breathe...but he was a friend you could count on! Dedicating this song to George today. He pulled Laura out of the ditch. He came to Erin's aid when her rig would not start. He did not ask "what is in it for me?" He was a true friend to many!
