Rest in peace my sweet cousin. Even though our paths have not crossed much since we grew up, I will always cherish the memories of when we we're growing up. You always looked after me like a big brother. Prayers for Vickie and John that y'all have peace and comfort for the loss of your Dad and Mom.

Often there are few that my console us when our love ones succumb to death. We desire to offer a measure of comfort in words of Isaiah 25 : 8 which says, "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it."
At that time man's last enemy death will be brought to nothing. (1 Corinthians 15 : 26)
