It's hard to believe that it's been two years. I just want to tell George's family that I very much appreciated working with him. We had a lot of laughs even in an occupation that isn't so pleasant much 
of the time (HCSO Detention).  In honor and memory of George, may the Covais family find peace.

My family knew George before I did because he was a detention officer in Hillsborough county, and my brothers were familiar with him. I met him later. The one thing I remember, toby and I were only friends, and we went camping with a group of friends the weekend of graduation. I was staying with my grandmother at the time, who lived in NJ. I had traveled down to Tampa for the weekend with my grandfather to attend our high school graduation. We played a joke on George, and toby and I went to his parents house and toby told his dad that my grandfather had an emergency, and left back to NJ without me, and I'd need to stay with them until he comes back for me.  Having known how flighty and selfish my family was, George didn't have a problem believing us, and, without hesitation,  he said, "how long does she need to stay?" I remember thinking that, most people who know my faculty, completely judge me based on them, even though I'm nothing like them. Many people wouldn't even give me a chance, because my family was full of felons and druggies. But George looked at me, and saw me. He didn't lump me in with everyone else. He trusted me for me. I will always remember that. He judged you for you. He was a good man.
