Dorothy, you both have been a blessing and you've been kind to me. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding.God bless, Debbie

Querida Holly:
Recien nos enteramos de la muerte de tu padre, lo cual lamentamos profundamente, pues su sola presencia siempre hace falta a las personas que le aman, confio en que puedas encontrar en la familia y en la vida misma el consuelo de haberle perdido y la esperanza de un paraiso en donde todo sea armonia, tranquilidad y amor.
Con el cariño de siempre:
Chamelo

Jeff Zenick,
I'm so grateful to hear from you! Please get in touch, same address and phone as when you last visited me, or please post your email or other contact info. You, as always, are dear to me.
Love, Holly

Holly,
I feel sad about the death of your Dad. I have fond memories of him. I hope all is well with you and your family. Thinking of You.

Dear Shumway Family,
I am saddened to hear of the loss of your father. It has been many years since I've seen any of you. Courtney was a friend of mine in middle school. I mark well the impression which she made on me in those formative years and know that it was from her parents, that her free spirit and intellect were inherited. I recall fondly the time I spent at George's farm with his loving family. My thoughts are with you.

Loren, Mark, Holly, Caroly, and Julie (whom I never met)- I am so sorry you lost of your father. He was an inspiration to me as an oceanographer-wanna-be and the days and nights I spent at your farm with all of you and skiing at Middlebury are among my most wonderful memories. Susan Williams (Loren's high school friend)

To the Shumway family:
You don't know us, probably, but we want to tell you how much George's life and work meant to us, part of the living history community. We are buckskinners, gunbuilders, and reenactors. We love the Kentucky Longrifle, and we loved George, and all the works he did. God bless you and keep you through this difficult time of loss. On behalf of the Sons of Liberty PMLC of Ohio, we express our deepest sympathy.
YHS,
Dick Bingham & Joyce Clemons

Dorothy, I'm so sorry to hear of George's passing. He was an inspiration to so many. I only met you and George formally once several years ago when you invited Bill, Betsey and myself to stay over at your place. I'll never forget that visit.
