Dear Ellen,
You could not be at George's Mass and leave St. Agnes Church not feeling something special just happened, it will always be a part of my fond memories of George. He was a very special part of our family and he will be terribly missed. George, I have added your name with sadness to my special book of Holy Souls and I pray every day for their happiness and help. We love you George and we believe we will seen you again. Jesus promised and He does not and cannot lie. How wonderful Fr. Graham was. he brought all the loose ends together and finally it all made sense Love to all,
Margaret and Richie.

George was the third of 3 WWII babies. Mary had Marilyn in Oct., Cecilia had Carol in Nov. and Virginia "Jean" had George in Dec.
Three sisters, with three Christmas babies. There was LOVE all around! George was a Christmas gift and was always a gentleman. He was loved very much and will be missed. He was my mother's favorite nephew. They had many nice visits.
