To the family of the late
George E. Vactor
To Mrs. Vactor, we are deeply sorry for the lost of your husband. He was such a great man. Always laughing when ever you see him…and during the time when he was able to see him ride his bike where ever he needed to go. It was the joy to see you two together and the dedication of love that you had for him day in and day out going to the nursing home. You have been such a blessing. You have shown him love unconditional.
Just watching you two walking together and holding hands down many of Erie streets was such a joy to see you two with so much love and respect for one another.
You never let a day go by in praising God. We’ll keep you and the family in our prayers.
To live in Christ & to die is gain
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs: 3,5-6

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.

Dear Jeff & Family,
Chris and I are truly sorry for your loss. I personally knew your father and worked with him for many years at GE. He was one of the hardest working and most dedicated workers I have met in over 40 years. He always had a contagious laugh and smile that made everyones day better. I never saw him angry or speak a bad word to or about anyone. He was a blessing to everyone that knew him. Please know that our prayers are with you and your family, that God may lay his hand upon you and comfort you in this time of great sorrow.
