Dear Barb and family, I am so sorry for your loss. George was a nice man. I am happy he was well enough to join you at the class reunion last year . God bless him.
Condolences to the Trombly family. May Jehovah the “God of Comfort” bring you comfort and peace at this difficult time (2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4). Your family are in our prayers.
Dear Barb, Thinking of you and your family at this sad time.
Barb and family, My thoughts go out to you and the girls. Just be thankful for the years you had together and will again someday. My best to you all.
Dear Barb, Angela, Rebecca And Laurie,
I Am So Very Sorry That I Was Not There With You Yesterday. I Was All Dressed And Walking Out To The Cab Then I Collapsed Because, My Legs No Longer Worked. I Made It In. However, Half Way There, I Started To Shake & Had To Turn Back.
This Is What I Had Prepared To Say Yesterday.
New Living Translation 1 Corinthians Apostle Paul 13
Good Morning Everyone My Name Is Karen McAuley
George Or Buddy Who Those Who Knew Him Best, Was My Brother In Law
This Is A Very Sad Day
I Would Like To Read My Favorite Bible Passage This Morning
Yes, I Do Have This long Piece Of Paper But, Please Don’t Worry, I Have A Large Print Bible And Sometimes I Can’t See That Well So,
I Have Written It Down. I Promise It Will Not Take Much Time Please Bear With Me.
The Following Is From 1ST Corinthians 13 Letter From The Apostle Paul Titled
Love Is The Greatest
If I Could Speak All The Languages Of The Earth.And Of Angels. But Did Not Love Others.
I Would Probably Be A Noisy Gong Or A Clanging Symbol.
If I Had The Gift Of Prophecy And If
I Understood All Of Gods Secret Plans And
Possessed All Knowledge And If I Had Such Faith That I Could Move Mountains But,
Didn’t Love Others, I Would Be Nothing.
If I Gave Everything I Had To the Poor And Were To Sacrifice My Body.
I Could Boast About It. But If I Did Not Love
Others, I Would Not Have Gained Anything.
Love Is Patient, And Kind. Love Is Not Jealous Or Boastful, Or Proud Or Rude. It
Does Not Demand It’s Own Way It Is Not Irritated And Keeps No Record Of Being Wronged. It Does Not Rejoice About
Injustice But, Rejoices Whenever The Truth Rings Out.
Love Never Gives Up Never Loses Faith Is Always Hopeful And Endures Through Every Circumstance.
Prophecy And Speaking In Unknown Languages And Special Knowledge Will Become Useless.
But Love Lasts Forever.
Now Our Knowledge Is Partial And Incomplete. EvenThe Gift Of Phrophecy Reveals Only Part
Of The Whole Picture. But When The Time Of Perfection Comes,
These Partial Things Will Become Useless.
Whe I Was A Child, I Spoke And I Thought And Reasoned As A Child. But, When I Grew Up,
I Put Away Those Childish Things. Now We See Things ImPerfectly,
Like Puzzling Reflections In A Mirror. But, Then We Will
See Everything ith Perfect Clarity. All That I Know Is Partial And Incomplete,
But Then I Will Know Everything Completely. Just As God Knows Now Knows Me Completely.
Three Things Last Forever Faith…….Hope…And Love And, The Greatest Of These Is ……Love AMEN
Barbara Angela, Rebecca & Laurie. George Gave To You Freely And Unselfishly The Irrevocable Gift Of Love As A Husband
& A Father
& He Received So Much Love In Return.
As The Apostle Paul Said The Greatest Gift Of All Is Love
And I Believe This To Be True. It Can Never Be Taken From You/
I Hope This Brings You Some Comfort In Your Time Of Grief.
God Bless You
