My husband was such a blessing to me. My first marriage blessed me with two wonderful sons, but not much happiness beyond that. When George came into my life, I was ready to receive all the wonders and excitement he had to offer. I watched how he doted on his mother and was so involved with his family and children. I knew then he was excellent husband material. He had a quiet manner about him, offset by my jubilant approach to life. He rarely raised his voice or lost his calm demeanor in life’s struggles. The constant considerate neighbor, he checked on neighbors and was somewhat a neighborhood watch for the children. I will miss cooking his breakfast each morning as I did during my retirement. He always thanked me and was grateful for whatever I prepared. What a blessing I retired and had more time with him the last year and half.
He often checked on me when I was out and about making sure I was okay and in a jovial manner inquire was I coming home today. I tend to lose track of time at Walmart. George was somewhat of a dreamer who enjoyed his lottery and scratch off tickets. He would ask me if I had any scratch off money and I tried to give him as much as was reasonable. He referred to me as “ wifey”, “darlin’ wife”, “my pretty wife” and “the Dingster” (derived from Ding – the name one of our grandsons pinned on me because he couldn’t say Sandy when he was small).
Just now as I write this, I saw a Carolina Wren out the kitchen window. That was the last bird we enjoyed watching the hatch-lings fly and land on the power lines. He loved taking care of all the birds. His fur babies seem sad and I’m sure they miss his lap and bedtime with him. I know I will see George again in Heaven. He had a profound visit from The Holy Spirit and was later baptized in the Holy Water. I will miss him all the days of my life. I pray God will give me the strength to grieve my loss and deliver me a new normal.
I’ll see you my sweet husband in God’s time. I love you George with all my heart.
Your wifey ,
Sandra
To the Puckett family, My name is Gene Ellis. I lived in the same neighborhood as George. We were good friends all during high school. However I enlisted in the Navy in 1960, dropped out of school. I never saw George again. He was a swell guy and good friend. You might say George,and Nick Newton and myself were best buds. It just happened I mentioned him to my wife and she suggested I look him up. Was so sorry to hear of his passing. Don't know if he ever mentioned Nick or myself , but would love to here from Nick if you happen to know anything of his whereabouts. So sorry for your loss, like I said he was a great guy! May God bless you. Sincerely, Gene Ellis, e-mail [email protected]
