Our sympathy and prayers are with you Connie and all your family. We will miss George so much but we know where he is and know we will see him again one day. We have known you both for many years now being part of your Christian family at Westside. I will always remember him holding my hands and not wanting to let go of them because my hands were so warm. We love you both so much.

Praying for you Connie and thanking God for His amazing grace.
Some day the silver cord will break,
And I no more as now shall sing;
But, O the joy when I shall wake
Within the presence of the King!
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story, saved by grace:
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story, saved by grace.
Some day my earthly house will fall,
I cannot tell how soon ’twill be,
But this I know—my All in all
Has now a place with Him for me.
Or some day when my Lord will come,
And called to meet Him I’ll be blest,
He then will say to me, “Well done,”
And I shall enter into rest.
Some day, till then I’ll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
That when my Savior I will greet,
My faith will then be changed to sight.
