Doug, Marcy and Debra,
Uncle George – that picture and his smile immediately transported me back to the farm they frequently visited. I can still hear his wonderful laugh and feel the kindness from both his and Auntie Gloria’s presence. Every visit we were presented with some little treat, usually Hubba Bubba or Double Tape, but there was always a catch or game to receive it. My greatest memory of both of them, was during one of the most difficult periods in my life when I had to stay with them for an extended period away from my family. The love, kindness and compassion they showed me still resonates in how I treat people to this day. All this to say, that if I were to speak with him again, I would tell him that the greatest fuss should be made over people who feel they live the humblest of lives as the impacts from their kindness is further reaching than they know.
With deepest condolences (and through sobbing tears),
Vicki
