George returned today! Ashes to ashes!

It was been an emotional last few days.  Dave went Monday, Jan. 29th to pick up Patsy, George's sister, from the ALB airport.  We has never met her so we didn't know what was going to happen.  Dave took her around town to show her points of interest that she would need then dropped Dave at home.  She came in to meet me and gave me a hug.  That told me everything was going to be ok.

Monday night we went to Casa Taco for dinner.  Bill and Maurene came also.  We ended up finding out that Maurene and Patsy went to college in WY at the same time!  Small world!

Tuesday Patsy ran errands and we went to play pool/shuffle board at the VFW.  Dave & Martha offered to host a roast for George at their house. We choose only really close friends for the function. Bill/ Maurene, Bob/Terri, Mel/Bonnie, Dave/Martha, Dave & I and Patsy.  Loren/Marilyn were ill and did not attend. We ate pizza and shared stories of George.  I put together 2 photo albums. One for Patsy and one for Dave & I.  The stories were awesome and the night was as well.

Wednesday Dave & Patsy went to Hatch to close bank accounts and ended having to go to Las Cruces for one bank.  When they returned we cleaned out the apartment.  Patsy came over with George's ashes.  She didn't expect them back until Thursday.  Tomorrow she leaves with George's truck and side x side.

I didn't know that George's passing would result in meeting and getting to know a new friend.  Since George was a such a private guy it was nice to hear about his life from Patsy.  We look forward to meeting, Bert. Patsy's husband, someday.

It's sad to lose another friend!  We'll miss you George!
