As we make our journey throu this life, death is our final stop. The Bible gives us comfort in our time of grief. Even the perfect man, Jesus Christ, “Gave way to tears.” So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous.(John11:35) Jesus said “I am the resurrection, & the life.” (John11:25) What a wonderful gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones once again.
I am much grieved by the loss of my friend George. I have just learned now while planning a trip to Knoxville for a long delayed visit that he had passed away.
He was a good friend, an honest spokesman, a lively comrade and I will miss him. Our Idaho adventure was much to short but I have many fond memories of that time. There should have been more
My condolences to his wife and children
