I'm so sorry to hear of Jerrell’s passing . Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
Dear Keith and family,
I was so saddened to see the obit for your Dad in the paper today when returned from a trip about 10:00 a.m., too late to come for the service. I called Dan and he did not know about it either and we both send our condolences to you and your family.
Love, Irene
Mr. Jerrell will truly be missed! I'm so sorry!
