George loved his Valley childhood days and time spent there with extended family. He will have found peace in his return. George will be dearly missed and forever loved by his family. "Do not stand at my grave and weep, "I am not there, I do not sleep. "I am a thousand winds that blow; "I am the diamond glints on snow. "I am the sunlight on ripened grain: "I am the gentle autumn's rain. "When you awaken in the morning's hush, "I am the swift uplifting rush "Of quiet birds in circled flight. "I am the soft star that shines at night. "Do not stand at my grave and cry. "I am not there; I did not die.
