George Leopold Steiner
May 20, 1929 – May 10, 1913
I put off writing this post hoping I could find a few words. Alas my words remain muddled; these are words I used elsewhere.
George passed away peacefully Friday morning. I was holding his hand and singing Amazing Grace, his favorite hymn. He was my rock. Although I know he is with me in my heart I miss him terribly.

My deepest condolences. May George rest in peace.
Oh Mardel,
I want to let you know that I hold you and “G” in my heart at this time. I have been thinking of you often since your recent posts, and am sending my heartfelt condolences. You are a real inspiration to me with the grace and love you have shown for “G”. Thank you for sharing, it has been very helpful.
I’ve only posted here a couple of times, but you are the first “knitting” blog I had discovered a while back. I have followed your journey for the past few years and have related to many of your struggles with watching a loved one decline. Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures. You make a very attractive couple. Hold on to the special love you had for each other forever.
Take good care of yourself and know that you have lots of folks that care. (Even anonymous blog followers! 🙂
All the best to you,
Lois Champion-Myers
I’m so very sorry for you, Mardel. What a lovely ending, though, and from what I’ve read over the past few years here, very typical of the grace you’ve brought to every challenge you and George faced through his decline. I hope you are finding some support in the company of loved ones. All the best, Frances
Just wish I could give you a hug…and peace in the days to come.
I am so very sorry. Our mind understands that this is a relief of suffering but our hearts don’t understand. You will be in my prayers.

So sorry for your loss.
Dear Mardel, my heart aches for you. The pictures you have chosen are beautiful. I know hearing you sing a favorite hymn brought beauty and peace to George in his final moments.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Mardel, my most sincere condolences.
Sending love and prayers our way. HUGS. – Myrna
Sending a big HUG your way. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Mardel,
Wishing you “the grace my fears relieved”, as your song for him goes. In sadness and in gratitude for G’s remarkable life, extended by your constant love.
Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Are you all right? Can we do anything?
I think you are a wonderful woman.
I am so pleased that the suffering is over for both of you. It has been obvious how much you love George: so glad you could be there when he died.
Do remember the person you loved.
I hope the bureaucracy and paperwork are bearable in your present sad state. My very heartfelt wishes for your future, when you are up to thinking about it.
Deepest sympathy and condolences. Know that you are in our thoughts.
Hugs Mardel, and thank you for sharing your sweetie with us.
Mardel, You know you have my deepest sympathy. George will be a part of you forever, but now in a way that no one wishes for. His spirit will remain with those who loved him, even as he moves on. Beautiful photos, and I very much love the one of the two of you, as well as the one when he was a boy. Lovely post. Again, so sorry.
So sorry. I’m glad you were there and that he was surrounded by Grace.
Oh, Mardel, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m holding you and yours in the light.
Mardel, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that your memories will bring you comfort in the coming days.
Mardel, I don’t know how I missed this post earlier, but I am so very sorry for your loss.
