• Beloved Uncles and Aunts,
It is with extreme sadness that I must tell you that our beloved father, George Beringer Schaeffer Jr., passed away at about 9:30 pm last night, Monday evening, March 18, 2012.
My mother, Diane, Skip, Christine, Christine’s husband Bob, and I were all with him until shortly before he passed. Our Pastor came to see him, and we were able to pray together for a bit. Christine and Skip stayed with Dad while the rest of us went home for the night, but Dad only lasted a short while longer. He had been sleeping quietly, and he just stopped breathing. Fortunately we were able to return to the hospital to make our final goodbyes last night.
We will be making funeral arrangements some time today. We expect Susan and Janet to be with us today or tomorrow.
We give thanks to God for our father’s life, and we ask for your continued prayers in our time of sorrow.
With much love and much sadness,
Alice Marie6934
