What a dear, man and Christian friend George was. He and Polly were dear members of Bethlehem Church when my late husband Dolan, was pastor there . Their family was always special people, and so loyal to the church.

From now on George, you and Polly will rejoice and never be separated again. Your everlasting love for each other and God the Father and His Son Jesus is never-ending!
Be at peace sons and families. In faith, you will join them some day.
Love and prayers,
Shirley Talbert Suffolk, Va.
