George,
We grew up on High Street in Moncton. Though I was a little girl and you were my big brothers friend. I knew you well.

It pains me to have lost touch with you these past 30 years. I remember you as always having a smile and always a good word about someone.

You'll always be in my thoughts as you have been in the past few years. Not knowing how to reach you.

Keep watching those Red Sox as I will be too and keep a space for me in heaven so when I get there we can re-connect.

GEORGE!…….55

And George would answer..always

He arrived early and left late…no one appreciated him more than the people who worked with him…He’d remember the little things about our customers or their particular needs and always saw to those details. George’s work career in the industry included other shops as well, but since I believe he began with Light Metal in the early 70’s and answered that page “George, 55” more times than anyone can count so I consider him "ours". George had been working in Worcester but just recently returned to us at LMP and while he wasn’t always feeling well enough to work every day, he did reconnect with us. Lena told me, he was so happy to be back at LMP, as we were to have him back.

When I put up a notice for his service near the time clock so his fellow employees would know, George’s timecard was still in the card rack waiting for him to return. It pained me to remove it this last time knowing he would no longer being punching in.

I also have to believe the afterlife has got to be easier than what he’s been through this past year.

Now, George’s golf game will be near perfect, he can follow his Red Sox and Patriots games from the
"Heavenly" box seats with his friends that had gone on before him.

“Over here, George," my brother, Butch will call, "I saved you a seat and ordered you a Bud”

George!... 55...he’s not answering his page, we’ll take a message for him.....

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
