Earl is my mother's first cousin. She is still living(94) Her name is Willene Sullivan. She also has one sister living named Ann Sullivan. On behalf of my mom, my aunt, and my family, we are very sorry to hear of the passing of Earl. I did visit Earl and his wife a few times on trips to Uncle Hugh and Aunt Arkie. They were both so nice and kind. I live very near where Earl was born. Again, very sorry to hear of his passing.

My family and I are sharing your sorrow on the loss of one so dear, and sending our deepest sympathy to all of your family, to let you know how much we care. In the future Jesus Christ will undo the damage to mankind, caused by Satan’s rebellion against Jehovah god. Isaiah 25:8 tells us that he will swallow up death forever, and that he will wipe tears from all faces. What a blessing this will be for all of mankind who serve God faithfully. (Jude 2)
