George and Madelyn were faithful members of the Oak Grove/Berea Baptist Church in Bartonville for many years. As faithful servant of our Saviour, George and Madelyn were great examples of Christian giving and kindness. One entire level of their home was dedicated for housing missionaries and evangelists who were guests in our church. Their guest book was full of the names of the Lord's servants who stayed in their home over the many years of service in Bartonville. We are thankful for their faithfulness to our Lord and to Oak Grove/Berea Baptist Church. They are missed, and we will forward to our reunion with them when our Savior returns or we depart as George and Madelyn have. We are praying for the Guindon family in your loss.

We have many fond memories of the Guindons. We will always remember them for their kind and giving spirit. Their house was never empty for very long when missionaries or special speakers would fill their home with joy and happiness. Thank the Lord for caring, faithful people that loved the Lord. Our prayers are with you at this time.
