You will always be in our hearts. The thought of you always brings a smile to our faces when we speak about you. I will never forget those good old days. It seems so long along. Your father speaks about you often at the age of 92 - it seems like yesterday he lost you.

Love
Susan

Dear George,
I'm glad I finally found you. I was told about you when I was thirteen. I have read your letters that you wrote to my mother Mary. I have pictures of you - we favor, mom said that I have your good nature. I'm very proud of you and I know you would be proud of me. I have three children of my own. You did what you had to do for your country and I have a lot of respect for you. May God watch over you and rest in peace. Just know you will always be in my heart.

Love Always your daughter,
Cathy B. Weldon
