George's Funeral


For the last few years my Uncle George has suffered from Multiple System Atrophy. It is a really rare disease and there isn't a cure for it. It affects your fine motor skills and slowly progresses to where you can't move hardly at all. It has been really hard to watch him struggle with this disease. He was always one to tease everyone around him and I know it was frustrating when he lost his ability to speak. He also was very active. He loved to exercise and stay in shape. I'm sure that it was difficult to lose the ability to walk. Even through these last few years George had an amazing attitude. He never lost his sense of humor. He was a great man and will always be missed in our family.


George was from Tennessee. This was his younger brother who flew out for the funeral.
It was great to meet him. I couldn't help but keep looking at him cause he looks so much like George. 



My Aunt Sheila is the strongest woman I know. She has had to go through so many trials in her life and has an amazing attitude. She stays strong in the church and has so much faith. I admire her for her strength. She even spoke at George's funeral (at his request) and didn't an amazing job.
