I'm always at a loss at an occassion such as this. George and I passed correspondance fairly frequently. Such an occurance is always a shock, and I never have the right words. I first read the news about 5:30 this morning, and had to come back to it, to be sure it was true.
Guys, no matter what your age, I guess I always consider you all around my own age, and in as good of physical condition. At times, reality comes to the forefront, and lets us know we are far from immortal.
But maybe we are. My religious beliefs most likely vary considerably from the general member here, as I am most closely related to the native animist beliefs, but I certainly believe in an after life, and am most likely considered an evangelical Christian when you get right down to it, as are the majority of the members here. That is just because the beliefs parrelell each other so closely. Kind of like Luthern, and Presbyterian. No one here asks what another believes, and that is good. For those who wish to witness here, that is fine. That is your business, and is what your faith tells you to do.
It is a personal relationship with the creator, that each person must be comfortable with. I remember the Indians telling all the missionaries to go home, and decide which of thier religions were the true one, and then come back. It remains the same today, with so many sects and offshoots of churches.
I think George was comfortable with himself, and happy. And I believe, even in death, he will remain so.
