God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, “Come to me”.
You didn’t deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
~Love always you and only you
Shirley

My heart is with De Anna, Shirley and the entire Bush Family. George was such a great dad and a special man. I know this because his daughter De Anna is one of the most capable people I will ever meet! His positive influence (and Shirley’s influence too) as parents is very, very clear. George and Shirley were a wonderful loving couple who’s love serves as an inspiration for all of us. It is so clear how much George loved Shirley and all his family. George was such a strong man, inside and out. The way he fought through so much illness and sacrificed so much for our country . . . well, I am honored to have known him. –Pamela Peak
