Evelyn I just wanted you to know I'm lifting you up in prayer today, and will continue to do so. I hope Georges memorial day is somehow a blessing to all who knew him, as was his life. Remember, when it seems dark, that the only reason you have sorrow is becuase you also had great blessing. Count those blessings daily and walk in that light. Let our Heavenly Father carry you thru. ((( hugs)))

I only had the privilege of meeting George and Evelyn once---NFR a few years back but still remember the very nice conversation we had that night. And of course read about all the wonderful ways George contributed to the ES and horse community. My thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with you Evelyn and your 2 and 4-legged family. I hope that all the warm memories and happy times will help ease the pain of George crossing the bridge to greener pastures. mom7

I am so moved by all these posts and what everyone has said. Evelyn,I wish I could be at the memorial tomorrow but I am in California and it is impossible to get back on such short notice. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I will forever remember you both in the white EMM shirts at one of the first Makeover events. I think I took the photo at the silly talent show they had one year. That moment will be frozen in my mind forever. Try to focus on the good times, and know that you were the most loving and devoted wife. I loved what NT wrote and gave us an intimate look at the weekend at the Circle G for those that couldn't be there. She also said he fought hard to have more time with you. I know that to be true in my heart. And I am so grateful that an idea I had eleven years ago brought you together, and gave meaning to both of your lives. George touched so many people, and made such a difference. He left quite a legacy in the Mustang world. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Marcia

We first met George and Evelyn when we went to cheer them on at Shot shows...and then we joined in and started competing with them. We had so much fun cheering each other on. And George in his pink shirt...always grinning and up to something. Then came Memorial weekend and our 1st time to do the extreme races....I believe that was the most fun we've ever had was there at the Circle G...Then came the mustang challenges...we never missed a show and loved cheering them on at that. Just couldn't help but love George & Evelyn more and more all the time. the perfect example of true love and respect. You gals know how difficult and what an honor it was to earn the title of "cowgirl" by George. I've been working on a freestyle pattern that I planned on doing Memorial Day at one of the shin digs at the Circle G to see if I was going to get bumped up lol....I was still after that honor of "cowgirl" from George. But with my mare getting hurt and George getting ill, we didn't get it done. But, I am ready now and will be doing it in Ft Worth on June 9-10 in honor of George. Be watching George and give me a good score please. :) He loved his wife, he loved his family, he loves horses and aminals, he loved and lived what was right, and he made this world a better place. A greater cowboy there never was nor will be. At the benefit we had for him, I went in to the house to see him....he was resting quietly in his chair...I leaned over and gave him a big o kiss....he quietly grinned. I'll never forget that moment as I held his hand and told him I loved him. He and Evelyn have impacted our lives in such a beautiful way. I believe that he fought long and hard for Evelyn...and pretty sure he knows that she is surrounded by love and people that will be there for her. I am so thankful that the Lord brought us together and look forward to more time with Evelyn..Love you so much cowgirl girlfriend. Nickie & Mark

I m not on much anymore,so missed meeting George at one of his gatherings,Even though i prayed for him to recover from that C word,well buckeroo your with the many of our ES friends in heaven having your own es event.HAPPY TRAILS TIL WE MEET AGAIN.My prayers are with you Evelyn. CHERYL53

Evylin, I just saw the notice. I am sorry and sad that this has come. I was always cheered by George. He had my respect. He lived well and enjoyed his life in spite of the shadow of death. I did not know him as well as I wished nor ever got a chance to speak to him in person. We shared notes when he was ill. I believe he cherished every bit of life he shared with you, that you were a great part of his determination to live well and enthusiastically while life remained.I have never written to you or chatted with you but I have wished and willed that George's cancer would go into remission and that you and he would have many years of happiness. George will be missed and remembered with respect and love by many. I know that nothing will make his loss easier nor your grief diminsh but I hope that you will find support and comfort with your shared freinds.

George! You were my HERO! Always loved reading your thoughts and advise. EVELYN! you are such an inspiration to all of us Cowgirls. My prayers to you. Wish I could give you a hug so sending some hugs to you. God bless. Some days when I found myself grumbling I would think how strong and brave George was. My home is always open to you if you get to Calif. It would be an honor. LB

Hi every one. Some folks have ask me to post directions to the Pot Luck lunch and the cemetery. Evelyn Gregory Hello everyone this is Dale again...here are the directions to Willa Walla Creek Shooting Center...from 82 in Saint Jo, at the light turn south on 677. Next you will turn right on 3206. Then turn left at Dye Cemetery Rd. You will pass the cemetery...the road will curve to the right. At the 2nd curve to the right, look to your left and you will see 3 entrances. The first one is Willa Walla Creek Shooting Center. If you need any help...call me @ 940.284.3483 At 3 PM at the Dye Mound Cemetery which is close to the Center. I believe that most folks can find the place from other direction that you will be coming from. Hope to see ya'll there. Also some have asked where to send a Memorial Fund. Just send what you can to Evelyn Gregory at 162 Lazy E Ln. St. Jo, Texas 76265 Following graveside service, everyone is welcome to come to The Circle G to celebrate the life of George Gregory... bring your lawn chairs and come sit under the shade trees and share your stories about one of the greatest cowboys we were all lucky enough to know.

I'll never forget how George and Evelyn were two of the first people I was blessed to meet on my first trip to Texas. Terri and I participated in the decorating of their stall at the Extreme Mustang Makeover, and rode to lunch in style in the big yellow ford. What a wonderful man. Such an inspiration to each of us. Evelyn and George are the perfect couple. Their love and respect for each other shined in their eyes. I will miss you Cowboy.. So thankful there is eternal life and that you are with other fine Cowboys riding in those hills in heaven. My prayers continue for you Evelyn. Your loss is tremendous and felt by so many but nothing as great as yours. Judy

This world was a better place because George was part of it. He will be sorely missed by those who had the privledge to listen to his words of wisdom, that he was not stingy to share. His passion for the horse was a joy to watch in action. That man was the real deal and we all know it. I have to awe at the fact that he is holding up the Mem'l Day tradition anyway. Wow. I would just imagine he will whip and ride all over the heavens, comparing notes with his heros that went home ahead of him. Evelyn...please know that my prayer for you right now is for the comfort of knowing your cowboy is at peace and will never feel pain again and for courage to face the coming days with a strong faith. You are a strong woman and very much admired for it. You have a lot of folks pulling for you right now, and we know you will get through this. Please try to remember that he's just gone ahead of the herd.... Giddy Up Cowboy!!!
