May God's unfathomable love, incomprehensible peace, boundless comfort and infinite grace be upon you all in this time of sorrow and grief.

I Thessalonians 4 : 13 - 18
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

I was so sad to hear of George's passing. My family and I loved knowing George through our church, Shady Oaks Baptist. George was such a delight, always saying hello, giving us all hugs, and wanting to know how we were. I was never so impressed as I was the day our church celebrated our veterans and I saw George in his uniform. George must have been in his eighties at the time...what a wonderful sight! Thank you for allowing us to be in your life George, it was an honor.

George had some wonderful times during these last few years. He seemed to enjoy every minute of it. He was so appreciative of what everyone did for him. What a wonderful man!

George and Dixie was very wonderful people. They were friends with my parents L.R. & Amy Summers. They really repected them. As I grew up, I, also repected them. They were always happy and full of joy. When mother & dad past, they were there to give love and support for our family. I loved each of them very much and am very sad that we very not close the their later years. I am sure they knew our family loved them, very much.
Love,

My thoughts are prayers are with all of the Ogle family during this difficult time. Uncle George will be truly missed and our world won't be the same without him. I so enjoyed when he shared memories of "the old days" about our family. But it warms my heart to know that my dad has his favorite uncle with him once again. May God Bless you all and give each of you the strength you need to carry on. I love you guys.
