Without knowing that Uncle George was seriously ill, the night before he died I had a dream that we ran into one another and he gave me a warm hug. I woke up with tears on my face. I'm not a believer in coincidences. Thanks Uncle George for that final hug. My love and condolences to his family and friends.
