On Tuesday, January 9, 2007, God looked down upon "Georgie Boy" and said, "Well done, George, my good and faithful servant.  Through Grace and mercy I have a promise of eternal life to you that begins on this day, at this moment."  It was then that "Georgie Boy" went to sleep in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
