Farewell: George & Mary Kathryn
by Inez Green 
After our absorption with the unbelievable facts the sudden passing of two of 
our lifelong friends within twenty-four hours of each other we will pause and 
be comforted by a sudden knowledge. Their years together brought to closure a 
lifetime of separation spanning years of service to their different families, 
different communities, different conditions. Their consciousness, however, 
always maintained a secret thread connected to the other, and always seemed 
psychically aware when the other suffered from the "slings and arrows of 
outrageous fortune." 

Their over fifty years of separation began, of course, with World War II. 
After accepting ( maybe never quite ) the facts of their separation, each 
built a full life of family, education, service to the church and community, 
and maintenance of a wide group of friendships from varied areas. Their many 
dear friends in these past few days have been appalled to witness the ending 
of those few years together, and find diffulcuty in accepting that finality. 
The most comforting thought that can come to those of us who grieve is the 
recognition of the closing of the circle which included both lives.
