    Dear Audrey and Family
    Our deepest thoughts are with you at the present time. Although being neighbors since the late 1940s, I didn’t get to know George well until I was 16 or so. I had the pleasure of coming to work for him on his farm and in the green houses. We worked well together, I learned a lot from him. George was a good teacher and grower he took great pride in what he did. George will be missed by many, he is at piece now. good-by dear friend.

    A couple of years ago I was privileged to be given a tour by the family, along with a Beaver- Cub group, of the Sant Nurseries. There was George Sant still working in a tiny office in one of his many greenhouses. He was checking to make sure everything was ready for the next day when the staff arrived. I thought to myself- What a wonderful business and what a wonderful family. Thank you George.

    My honest and sincere condolences for his passing
    I met him only once , and that was through a very accomplished individual
    who put George , miles higher than himself on a scale of success .
    The most impressive point my friend stressed had nothing at all to do with money .
    His admiration for the man and his wonderful family …was just that !
    His wonderful family , and his accomplishing just that !
    may they all carry his powerful legacy , for generations to come !

    I believe before humans open the true abilities of their minds, they need to master love from their hearts.
    I believe humans need to lead by example instead of leading by force.
    I believe no one should be able to patent an idea, only a percentage.
    I believe laughter can often be the best medicine.
    I believe if people do not believe in life after death, then how do you think we got here in the first place.
    I believe that moneys most powerful ability is to allow evil people to continue to do evil things at the expense of others that do not have it.
    I believe it does not take knowledge to be genius, it takes a different way of thinking.
    I believe those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
    I believe you can not argue with stupid people they will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
    I believe that even if we fall flat on our face atleast we are still moving forward.
    I believe humans need to live with music within their hearts instead of the greed that plagues our alike minds.
    I believe jedi’s can learn from thier mistakes, sith do not.
    I believe that it is the mark of a educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it blindly.

    I believe if you are in some sort of military, armed forces or some other life form etc… you should always honor your oath over orders. Your always fighting for willy, even the small ones that can not fight for themselfs.
    I believe when it rains water its peacefull, when it rains evil its not right.
    I believe that the only constant in the universe is not Time its Truth, you do not have to think about it, you just know it, like reality, we do not think it exists, we know it exists. Sometimes i think that human beings are offsetting that balance. What a milestone it would be if the entire world sang in unity all at once in peace. Thats why i hold Hope. I’m never letting go. To the sands and to the stars and beyond.
    I believe that Love is the fruit tree that shall heal thy nations.
    I believe that great people are not interested in what is wrong, they are interested in what is right.
    I believe that some Humans we can not help on Earth, its why they will always be stuck here, Loving humans that keep coming back have Hope that we can still help them.
    I believe that it should be against the law if a evil mind orders you so.
    I believe when in doubt, always bet on jEdI, Black or White, in the sands or in the stars.
    I believe its the size that always matters, the size of all of our Hearts, because if our hearts are empty, whats in our minds does not matter at all.
    I believe if living in the stars is so great, why do some of the best people live in the sands.
    I believe in V without Vendetta, i’ll remember V for EV forever.
    I believe a act of kindness starts Friendships, Peace, Love, Truth and Freedom, the very backbone of any great life form.
    I believe in the name of love, U2 should too.
    I believe no Law shall ever be set forth WITHOUT the written permission consent of all the public, as a true democracy should be and forever more shall be.
    I believe its a fool who plays it cool by making his world alittle colder, a Beatle taught me that one.
    I LOVE YOU GEORGE, i will miss you forever.
