Grandpa George

One of the toughest things about living overseas is missing out on big family events, funerals included. There's something healing about being able to get together with the whole family and remember a loved one. Of course, we knew this was a possibility when we decided to move to Asia. But since we have moved overseas, my Pop Wallace and Grandma Gerlt have both gone on to be with Him. On Thursday, Kevin's Grandpa George passed away. Currenlty Kevin is in the other room, composing a letter to be read at the funeral. He just shared some memories with me I hadn't heard, like Grandpa George taking him to watch the airplanes in Borger years ago and always making sure there was sugar involved! I always wanted to ask him what his secret was...the man could eat 3 desserts a day and still remained a bean pole! I'll remember Grandpa George as the sugar-loving, gentle man who really loved Him and wanted His grandkids to work overseas. In fact, 3 of the 6 grandkids currently are. He and Grandma George used to get up very early and lift up all their kids and grandkids together. PTL for family who points us to Him! We will miss you, Grandpa George...
