To George Burgess: A God Loving American Patriot

Who has gone to his great reward. He was a politico, patriot, veteran, and father. My inbox is filled with his forwards, thoughts on political discourse and jokes.
This is what his grandson wrote me:


Dear Victoria,

My name is ______ and I am George’s grandson, I am writing you this letter to let you know that on Friday afternoon George was fortunate enough to go home and be with the Lord. My grandfather loved his family, God, loved and defended his country, and worked hard every day to provide for his family what is known as the American Dream. I know he loved your show and enjoyed corresponding with you. And I thought that he would want me to let you know. I am proud to be able to call him my grandfather and I know if more of my generation had someone in their lives like my grandfather then this country and world would be a better place.
Sincerely,
__________

I don’t know how old his grandson is so I’m omitting his name. I think George did a pretty good job with his family.
God bless you, Brother.
Let’s hope He didn’t break the mold.
