The foundation “promotes charitable causes for children, and focuses its donations on various nonprofit organizations.” George said of his daughter on the foundation’s website: “Jenifer had so many special friends. So many that Norma and I couldn’t keep up with them a lot of the time. But we never met one of them we didn’t like. They were special to her; they were special to us.”
“Her very special love of all though was her brother Bubba. To watch them together, and the way she watched over him made us know he was always safe with her, no matter what. He loved her back in the same way, and always will, just as we always will. She was like a second mother to Bubba in a way. They had their arguments like brother, and sister do but in the end she always made Bubba feel like he came out on top.”
