I HAD PLANNED TO WRITE TO ALL THAT GEORGE WAS NOT WELL,
AND AM FEELING VERY NEGLIGENT ABOUT THIS...
I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE DAILY FOR OVER A WEEK. WITH GEORGE... PAM SAID HE
SEEMED TO PERK UP FROM MY CALLS.. HE WAS UP ONE DAY AND DOWN THE NEXT...
THE NURSE SAID THAT HE WAS FADING, BUT WE DIDN'T EXPECT IT SO SOON...
PAM HAS BEEN SO WONDERFUL AND SHE AND GEORGE HAD BEEN READING THE BIBLE EVERY
NIGHT... I NEVER REMEMBER GEORGE GOING TO CHURCH EXCEPT FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS...
BUT I GUESS OUR MOTHER'S FAITH AND TEACHING CAME THROUGH, AS GEORGE WAS A TRUE
CHRISTIAN... I BELIEVE IT WAS FRIDAY NIGHT, GEORGE HAD A DREAM. HE WOKE UP
PAM AND THEY DISCUSSED IT... HE THOUGHT HE WAS IN HEAVEN, AND, I THINK,
SAW MOTHER.. SO HE WAS REALLY READY TO GO TO HEAVEN.. THROUGH
ALL HIS HEALTH PROBLEMS FROM TEEN AGE YEARS, HE WAS SAYING WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE
HE HAD.. ( PERHAPS SOME OF YOU YOUNGER PEOPLE MIGHT NOT
REMEMBER THAT GEORGE HAD PNEUMONIA FROM THE TIME HE WAS 16-20 YEARS OLD..
SURGERY WAS THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO... SO HE HAS HAD ONLY ONE FUNCTIONING
LUNG FOR ALL THESE YEARS.. IN 1940 THE SULFA DRUGS APPEARED .. DR YOUNG DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH TO GIVE.... SO GEORGE RECOVERED.. WHAT A MIRACLE...
MOTHER INSISTED THAT HE FINISH H.S. SO HE GRADUATED IN 1942..THIS WAS AS HARD ON
MOM AND DAD AS IT WAS ON GEORGE... OUR MOTHER CERTAINLY WAS AN ANGEL.. SHE
NEVER, EVER COMPLAINED....WE NEVER APPRECIATE OUR PARENTS WHEN WE HAVE THEM..
WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE THE SEUBERT INFLUENCE.. SO,
JACK, IF YOU WOULD PASS THIS NEWS ON TO THE FAMILY...GEORGE HAD HIS
FUNERAL ALL PLANNED BUT I'LL SEND YOU THAT. ANNA IS PHYSICALLY FINE BUT
WITH HER DEMENTIA, IT'S DIFFICULT TO KNOW HOW MUCH SINKS IN.. WILL LET YOU
KNOW MORE...
PAM'S ADDRESS IS PAM COSTELLO 111 ORANGE AVENUE, BEAUMONT CA,
92223. LOVE TO ALL, ML
Mary Lou Maynard,
