Grandpa, I feel so fortunate for the years I have had with you and Grandma. I would not be the person I am today without having you both in my life. You taught me life lessons that I will carry always and pass down to my children. Everytime I told you how much you meant to me and that I was so thankful for all you have done, you were so humble and thought it was just how a person should be. You were extraordinary and I know there are hundreds of people who agree. For those of you who may not know my grandfather well, take this lesson with you... when he did something for someone, he would never expect anything in return, he just asked that when you are able, that you help someone else in need. He was so kind to everyone he met. I think he outfitted the entire town of Clark Mills with bicycles that he rebuilt so all the kids in town would have a bike :) It's not the years engraved on your headstone that matter, it's what you do with the dash in between that makes all the difference. George Henry, you were truly a great man. I love you and I will keep you in my heart forever. Please kiss Grandma for me. I am so happy that you are together again.
