George K. Nolen

We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield, in him our hearts rejoice, For we trust in his holy name, May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, Even as we put our hope in you. - Psalm 33:20-22

Vivian and George were married on August 29, 1992, and they were married happily for twenty-three years. George was a faithful member of the New Hope Church of God in Christ.
