Daddy,
The happiest day of my life was having you walk me down the aisle, you kissed me and gave me away. Today daddy, I walked you down that same aisle, God said it was my turn to kiss you and give you away, That was the saddest day of my life.
I love you daddy with all my heart, love forever your favorite daughter Diane xoxo!

George, I'm going to miss you......I always enjoyed are religious discussions....how we always kidded each other about our views on the faith and the world at large. I remember our small church group gatherings at your house, and I marveled at how your family stopped everything at 8pm for night prayers. Your family Christmas parties were always amazing with a real Santa Claus and gifts for everyone in your large family. Please pray for us George. May you rest in Christ's Peace.

Susan and your extended family, I am so sorry for your loss. George was a GREAT Man, a leader in faith and his love for your family was unbounded. I will pray for all of you.

with love and prayers,

Pete

Grandpa,
Words cannot express how much you will be missed. Even though you are no longer with us physically, you will always be in our hearts. We know you are looking down and watching over all of us with grandma. Thank you for being the best grandparent anyone could ask for. Love your grandchildren, Madeline, Haley, Dustin & Meghan.

George was a great man that touched the lives of countless people. George shared his experience, strength, and hope with the clients and staff of the Volunteers of America for so many years. George would come every day and would let nothing deter him including illness. His influence in the lives of people can not be measured nor his contributions to making the broken whole again. I am richer for knowing George.
My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

So sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing the family photos. Good to see my mom and dad with George, smiling on a visit they had to California. Also remember George sending a copy of VHS tapes to my mom. She enjoyed watching the family gatherings. I can see he loved and was loved. My prayers are with your family. Love, Linda Wagener, Alvera Cederoth's daughter.

This is a message from us to you. We wrote it on a napkin like our Mother would do. Into a scrapbook it will go, next to that note "I told you so".
Grandpa,
You were the rock, our heart, the root of our family. Your absence will affect us ever so greatly. Up to heaven you did go, please tell our Mother we said "Hello". Hugs and Kisses we send to all, One great big one to Grandma! Words and rhymes are not our thing. That's for Diane and Barbara to bring. Roses are red, violets are blue, there are no words to express how much we will be missing you. Love always, Annette, Debbie, Lisa, and Jacob.

My brother George finished the race well. He was a man whose faith in God and devotion to his family stands as a model for others to follow. Rest in peace, George Arnold. Enjoy the company of your loved ones. Not sure who is going to do the videotaping now, but the special days won't be quite as special without you there. You will be missed!

Grandpa, You have been special to me my whole life. You always thought I was a good kid and always did the right thing and that is what I am continuing to do for you so I can continue to make you happy. You are the one that brings everyone together all
The time and why we are all so close and the best. You are a very good dad to my aunts and uncles and my
Mom. I know you will be watching all of us in Heaven and expecting great things out of all of us. You always made events more special because you were the rising star in everything and always will be. It will never be the same since your not going to be here in person but you are here with us because you are in heaven. I will always keep all my memories I had with you in my heart and never forget them. You always cared about everyone and opened your heart to everyone and anyone. You were a very great,special person to everyone and always will. Love you always and God Bless You Always Your GrandDaughter Alysia

Daddy,

One of the greatest gifts God gave me, was YOU... My Dad!
There are no need for goodbyes,
Because I know this is not the end
So for now, I must return the gift God gave me
Until then; See you in Heaven....
