Wilma, you are in my thoughts and prayer
George Lindsey was a good man. I knew him as a teacher at Calvary and through scouting. He was fun to be around, had great stories, but more importantly, he had a way of stating deep truths in a simple, clear way. You always felt that George liked you. And, I think, he did.
Wilma, so sorry to hear of George’s passing. We are unable to be there with you today. Know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Wilma:
How saddened we are to learn of George’s passing. We loved seeing him each week at Heather Glenn for Saturday evening services. Carlos was especially close to him and spoke of him often, including just a few weeks ago that he was his Sunday School Teacher at Calvary many years ago. We grew to love him more each week and seeing you too. May God bless you at this time, with His love and peace. Heaven continues to get sweeter all the time. Blessings to you and your family. A scripture that has always been a comfort to me in these times is Isaiah 40:31. May it give you peace.
Much Love,
Dear Wilma: We are so sorry to hear of George’s passing. He was a wonderful man who loved his family. Roger & I worked with George at Lowe’s. Your Family are in our thoughts and Prayers.
Love to your Family
