Uncle Earl was a gem! The last time I talked with him was at my dad's 90th birthday celebration. Although his health was declining at the time, dad was so happy that brother Earl was there, as was Orion. Oh the stories they could tell, and I regret not recording their conversations. After dad (your Uncle George) passed away, Uncle Earl called me a few times, and I enjoyed visiting with him. My sincere sympathy to all my Arkansas cousins and families, Your Kansas cousin Kathy

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
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".
