Dear Ethel and family,
I was saddened to hear of George's sudden death. I will always cherish our friendship with you for many years. We had so much fun in Gilroy, and will always remember the good old days. I have many happy memories of both you and George and your children. I remember George for his quiet sense of humor, and his big smile. I enjoyed having you come to our 50th Anniversary when you lived in Alpine.I have also enjoyed visiting
with you when we came to see Trudy
and Jim in Calif. I remember the last time we saw you when Garth was
still here, and you took us for a ride, etc. I will be thinking of
you and praying for you and offer my
condolences to you. We are never
ready to part with our loved ones,
but I read just lately that, "No
richteous man is taken before his
time." May your good memories of
George sustain you in the coming
months and years.
Love, Lillian B. Anhder
