Trisha and family, I extend to you my deepest sympathy for your loss. It has been many years since knowing you in Carlisle but I will always feel close to those people I knew in Carlisle.
George was a good painter,and ran paint well. he sent me once to the Paint store for a “yatzel” brush. I felt bad when I had to tell him I could not find that particular brand.
ran Jobs well
My sincere condolences to the Gentry family at this time of loss. Losing someone you love is never easy. We are reminded in the Bible that God sees your sorrow and pain. He has promised that soon death will be done away with…swallowed up forever. (Isaiah 25:8) He will heal our broken hearts by resurrecting our precious loved ones to life again. (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15)
Reflect on the beautiful memories left behind and find comfort in these promises from God.
Going to miss you my Brother . Momma has taken her baby boy home . It is a sad old world now that you left us all behind . You didn’t say goodbye just like Daddy never would . I guess you didn’t have time being so excited to get to be with Momma and Daddy . George Wesley we will all be together again and have the whole house full again and sitting at Mommas table with her bright Eyes and big smile watching us eat . There was nothing more that could make her so happy than to see all her family enjoying her good cooking Sharon and me don’t have much left of us but you know we will take care of our girls
You took a piece of all our hearts with you but we know you can fix us . Love you forever more ❤️
