As we go through life on occasion you may encounter what some may refer to as a motivational speaker. Still as you continue your journey through this life you’ll meet others with great dreams and aspirations that they may share with you that at the time seem so grand.
But I have truly been touched by an individual that that did not boost of grandeur, or try to speak of others of what they could accomplish if done in a manor similar of his own thinking. This was a man a simple man that led only by example, a man that giving was a way of life, continually offering his life for others in what he did, not just in what he said. Rarely would he speak a biblical verse, he demonstrated them through his choices in life.
For this Uncle George you will be missed and remembered.
