Death Arrangements

After Garner's death, George quietly contacted Wilfred E. Brunham, Esq. to handle his affairs in case of untimely or unnatural death. Sadly, that day has come to pass. George's remains are collected for cremation with instructions to ship them to Robin's family in Wolf Pen along with a certified letter and a transfer of the rest of his savings, around $700, to their account to be used as needed.

He also left a will which will be carried out to the letter.

Manji receives half of George's fishing tackle and a letter that reads:

Manji with a Plan,

Bet you thought I forgot that. I never did. You's one crazy sumbitch. I always liked that about you. These people is gonna need your fight to save this world. It's rotten luck you gotta do it without me.

Take Mal fishing sometime so he don't get too lonesome and think about me when you see some of them pretty girls on the beach. Just don't kick no sand!

Best,
George

Donna receives his small collection of old movies, including Tugboat Annie, and a letter.

Hey Miss Donna.

I'm writing this with the hope you never has to read it. I always thought without Lennie I'd die somewhere drunk in a ditch. One thing I know for sure is that ain't how I went out. No matter what I'm glad of that and I hope you can be to. One day at least.

You got a smile that lights a whole room. You got grit and guts and one of the biggest hearts I ever seen. Don't let no one ever tell you no different. I never used to let myself think about courting no woman cuz I didn't have two sticks to rub together and no prospects. I let myself think about it with you. I wanted to be the guy who'd give you what you deserve and see that smile every day.

Don't let that pretty dress go to waste. Don't forget to take time to dance. You got a lot of living left to do. If theres one thing I learned here its that pain fades no matter how bad it starts and some days you'll find yourself just smiling without wanting to cry.

Thank you. You know what for.

Love,
Georgie

Nick will get his radio and a letter.

Hey Slick.

I can't tell you how sorry I am if you's reading this that I won't be walking the whole mile with you or however far there is left to go. You's one of the best friends I ever had. A fella couldn't ask for a more stand up guy at his side.

You gotta take care of yourself and the rest of these folks. If anybody can I know its you. Keep listening to that radio and them good folks in Lake Wobegon. They'll remind you of what your fighting for if you ever feel like you might be forgetting.

I don't know if theres no afterlife. If there is I reckon me and Lennie will be waiting for you when its your time and you can come set with us a spell any time you want. Bet Lennie'll have a whole mess of rabbits to pet. Me I'll just be glad to see you.

Guess I better go now.

Love,
George

George leaves Cortana his two nicest dress shirts and a letter.

Hey Cortana.

If you's ever in a pinch now you can be sure you got something nice to wear. You helped me more than you know with the phones and all the tech stuff. I also ain't never forgot you sticking with me on the train in the dark.

I hope you can always find light in your life and know you's one of the good ones. I'm glad we got to be friends.

Best,
George

Martin receives his first aid kit and a letter.

Hey 'Doc'.

I really hope you don't get stuck playing doctor to nobody else. I's sure that wasn't a good time. You's got such a core of decency. People's gonna need you now more than ever. I seen how strong you is and know you's up to the task. It was good to know you.

Best,
George

Winter receives the few vinyl jazz records he has and his small turntable.

Hey Winter.

I know you ain't one for a lotta words so I'll keep it quick. I always knowed you'd have my back and always admired how hard you fight to get back the pieces of you what got taken away. I hope you find everything you's looking for and that you never stop dancing. Thank you for always being there.

Best,
George

Yelena receives his notebook of observations he wrote down while working the new fence perimeter of Dogtown, starting from the birds incident and going forward, a small shell impression fossil, and a letter.

Hey Yelena.

I can't speak for nobody else. I always seen you as something of a leader of our group. I figure if anybody can find something in these notes that might be useful its you. I admire how much you care. It comes through in what you do. I'm sorry I can't be there to see the rest of this through and wish I'd known you better. I know you'll keep fighting. That's all anybody can ask.

Best,
George

Jaeger gets his old timey coffee drip pot, his new folding knife, and a letter.

Hey Jaeger.

I guess we can't win them all. You was the first face I saw when I got here and I's a lucky sumbitch that was true. You helped me that day more than I'm good at saying. I'm glad I got to know you a little and wish we'd had time for more. I knowed you always had my back.

Keep the knife close. You never know when you'll need it. Its got a good edge. Maybe it'll do you more good than it done me.

Best,
George

Kate receives his sunglasses and ball cap along with a letter.

Hey Miss Kate.

You's good at taking care of everybody. I know you'll keep on cuz its like what you done at home. I wish we'd had more time. I liked hearing about your world and I loved your brownies. Make sure Winter don't run out. Live a good life. Win the fight.

Best,
George

Mercy receives his carpentry tools except his hammer and a letter.

Sister,

If you's reading this it grieves me sore to lay another loss at your feet. I know you's good with it but you take it hard. I seen it with Garner. You was like somebody from home just walked right out of my world and met me here. I know it ain't so. They's lots of differences to.

Still felt like it. Felt like home when I ain't hardly ever had none. I'm grateful. I'd be grateful if you has anything you'd like to say. I done had my ashes sent to that family we helped in Wolf Pen to be scattered in the holler. Its not just where I met them but where we found all them fish to be able to do what we done. Its the first time I felt good about anything I ever done in a long time so I think its a good place to rest.

If there is an afterlife and you make it there to me and Lennie will be there to say hi and invite you to set a spell. You'd always have a place with us.

Love,
George

Eda receives five tins of sardines George bought before Wolf Pen with a note.

You eat the fish and not the tins.

Best,
George

Malcolm receives the other half of his fishing tackle, his fishing pole and his ice chest, as well as a letter.

Hey Mal.

You's the last person in the world I ever wanted to grieve. If you's reading this I know things went bad. I also know you. Don't you dare blame yourself or take it on. Whatever happened ain't never gonna be your fault.

I love you as much as I coulda ever loved a brother. We ain't got hardly nothing in common but we got everything in common what counts. I know you'll keep fighting and doing what you do to try to save people and make sure them what can't be saved gets justice.

Take Manji fishing sometime would you? I don't want him getting to lonesome. I'm sorry if I was ever to hard or mean. I never meant nothing bad by it. You live up to that last name of yours. Don't ever stop.

Love,
George

Katrina gets his hammer and work gloves, all of his information from working with Helping Hands, and a note.

Katrina

I ain't never forgot your fire in helping them folks in Wolf Pen. I know they won't never forget it neither. Look out for them. I sent them some money and I'm putting there address in this letter. You got such strength and decency. I'm glad I knowed you.

I'm leaving you my hammer for any more of them roofs what might need mending and everything I got on Helping Hands cuz I know you'll keep helping them.

Best,
George

Hickey receives the rest of the odds and ends house purchases, a coffee grinder, extra flatware, and a good cast iron pan along with a note.

Hickey

Try to remember you ain't gotta be a sumbitch to be strong. It ain't to late until you's dead and gone like me.

George

Neal gets his well worn deck of cards and a note.

Neal

I know I ain't gotta tell you this. Look after Mal. Keep both of you safe. Hold onto that goodness in you. I hope these cards bring you better luck than they did me. You deserve it.

Best,
George

In addition to his ashes and the money transfer, they receive a letter.

Dear Robin,

If you get this and that box I know you know what it means. I wanted to come back to you Ruth and Noah after this job was finished in a different way than this. I could've made a home in Wolf Pen and it'd be the first real home I had since I was a kid. That meant more to me than I could ever say.

I know the money ain't much but its all yours to do with as you needs. I told my friend Katrina to check on you and I know she will cuz she's a good woman.

I just got one last ask. If you could scatter my ashes in the holler where we met I'd rest easy. I wish I could tell you everything what really happened. I suspect you knows more than you's saying. It's a good place where we met and good things come of it. It might be the best thing I ever got to do.

I guess one more ask. When Noah's old enough tell him that man with the hat wanted to come back and see him all growed up and would've if he could've. I wish everything good for you and yours always.

Love,
George
