    For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18

    I look forward to the next family reunion that we attend with Uncle Russell! Love you all!

    Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1:2-4

    Lord willing we will be with you on Tuesday.

    Randy and I send our condolences to you all. Uncle Russell will be missed by many. I know though in my heart he is in a much better place than we are. He is with Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Uncle Sonny and I am sure they they are all singing in God’s choir now. I look forward to the day we will all be together again. I wish I could be with you all Tuesday but know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you all. I love you all

    Uncle Russell you gave me many happy memories growing up. I remember going with you on your dates. I remember riding on your shoulders and eating cracker jacks you had given me. Then you met Aunt Betty the love of your life. Please say Hi to dad and Aunt Ellen and Grandma and Grandpa and Mary. I miss you all.
