Catherine, I was sorry to read of your father's death. I have fond memories of his friendship with my parents and his kind, gentle conversations with me. I pray for the Lord's comfort and grace for you and your entire family during this difficult period. Remember it is not goodbye, but rather, "until we are reunited in heaven."

George Thomas was one fine man! He loved to go fishing. He and my grandpa Bise wet a lot of hooks together. I bet Heaven has a lot of nice fishing ponds! God bless and care for his family. Proud to have known him!
