George Sauer Obituary

George L. Sauer On October 9, 2008, George went to join our father and the Heavenly Father leaving behind family and friends who will forever remember his kind heart and quick wit. George was born January 19, 1947 in Long Branch, N.J. then moved West with his family arriving in Los Gatos in 1954. He graduated from St. Mary's Grammar School, St. Francis High School and attended West Valley College and San Jose State University. He then moved to Oklahoma for 25 years, returning to CA in 1997. He was the loving son of Mary Lee Sauer and the late George A. Sauer, the treasured brother of Barbara Sauer of Makena, HI and Holly (John) Henry of Morgan Hill. He is survived by his son George (Lindsay) and three grandsons, George "Jacob", Sam and Max of Broken Arrow, OK. His son, George, was the light of his life and his greatest accomplishment. There will be a Memorial Prayer Service on Saturday, October 18th at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary's Church, 219 Bean Ave., Los Gatos, CA. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in George's name to Stanford Hospital Liver Transplant Program, The Lori Gardner Fund, 750 Welch Rd., Ste. 210, Palo Alto, CA 94304.

I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I miss you so much. I wish Poppa George was here to see how beautiful and smart Devyn Lindsay and Ryan Elizabeth are growing up to be. My heart breaks at every cheer competition that "Linds" wins and every soccer goal Ryan scores because you're not here to see it, but then I remind myself that you are watching over them in everything that they do. I love you so much, dad, and I miss you every day.

My thoughts and prayers are with George's family. He fought a truly heroic fight against a relentless medical condition. Hope he is exploring heaven with his dad, and his dad's dog, Charlie.

Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
I dont remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought youd always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now youre nowhere to be found

I dont know what happens when people die
Cant seem to grasp it as hard as I try
Its like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
That I cant sing
I cant help listening
And I cant help feeling stupid standing round
Crying as they ease you down
cause I know that youd rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
(right on dancing)
No matter what fate chooses to play
(theres nothing you can do about it anyway)

Just do the steps that youve been shown
By everyone youve ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Anothers steps have grown
In the end there is one dance youll do alone

Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Dont let the uncertainty turn you around
(the world keeps turning around and around)
Go on and make a joyful sound

Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
But youll never know.

Kiss Christine.

I love you.

I thought I saw your face today, in the sparkle of the morning sun. And then I heard the angel say, "Their work on earth is done."
I thought I heard your voice today, then laugh your hearty laugh. And then I heard the angel say, "There's peace dear one at last." I thought I felt your touch today, in the breeze that rustled by. And then I heard the angel say, "The spirit never dies.'
