Hope you'll get through this gloomy phase of your life.<br /><br />You're absolutely right. There's never enough time when it comes to spending time for our loved ones. This is the very reason why we should show how much we treasure them while they are still alive.Agnes Jimenezhttp://www.empressofdrac.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-37198862208512451522012-10-31T10:53:45.192-07:002012-10-31T10:53:45.192-07:00My condolences, Arlee.

I hope you got to his bedside in time to say goodbye. I've always heard--although I don't know how anyone can really know this--that the last sense that goes is hearing. So I hope you got to share with him the sentiments of this posting. He sounds like such a wonderfully gentle man within himself.

Your mother will be so happy to see you ... because as you say she will be sorely missing George, also you'll be there for her and to help her through these times.<br /><br />George sounds one lovely man and of great support to your mother, and that's the most important thing for a son - he was her rock. I look forward to hearing more about him in due course.<br /><br />My thoughts will be with you in these coming days ... and with your family, thankfully you are together and your siblings have been with their mother during this enormous loss from her life.<br /><br />Lee - travel safely ... sent with blessings - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-10245460323457902462012-10-14T00:30:33.610-07:002012-10-14T00:30:33.610-07:00I pray for peace for you and your family at this t...I pray for peace for you and your family at this time. and safe travels for you.theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621187880594813876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-61090056519940277632012-10-13T15:56:48.166-07:002012-10-13T15:56:48.166-07:00My thanks to all who have left and will be leaving...My thanks to all who have left and will be leaving the kind words. I just received word that George passed peacefully late Saturday afternoon. He was surrounded by family and with my mother by his side. I won't be getting to see him as I had hoped, but I'll be there for his memorial service and most importantly to stay several days with my mother. She's going to have a tough time ahead, but she's got several family members nearby to provide her the support she needs.<br /><br />Thanks to all<br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-56248285606003611162012-10-13T15:40:21.898-07:002012-10-13T15:40:21.898-07:00All the very best to you and your family throughou...All the very best to you and your family throughout the difficult days ahead.
