Dear Marie
God keep you close in this time of loss of your husband and my friend, George. I am offering a heartfelt prayer in sympathy today that God will bless and comfort you in His very special loving way. He will be remembered by many friends for his gentle manners and his musical talents. Just know that this message brings my love and sympathy to you. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. He is in the presence of His Lord.

Hi Marie,
It's Terry, Deno's wife. I was so surprised to hear about George's death. I can remember him playing with Roger at The Harp. He was a great man. I'm sure, he will be missed by many.
You can be sure, my husband and your husband are jamming together. Marie, remember one thing, always blessings, never loses. Celebrate the life that the two of you had together.

Hello Marie,
I am sorry to hear of George's death. I used to be the girlfriend of your neighbor Richie Bass. I also was very friendly with your son Carl. I did not know that Carl passed way. I am so sorry to learn that as well. George was always smiling and friendly.
I hope these words from our father's letter to us will bring you comfort and the hope that I now have:
Rev 21:4 - And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
