Very sorry to read of the passimg of your dear loved one Earl. Life is such a precious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. I am writing to share a few words of comfort and encouragement from the source of truth the bible.
God holds out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11:25 Jesus said “I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCIES FAITH IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE.”
The nine accounts of ones in the bible who were resurrecte are a guarantee that the resurrection of others is possible. God can bring back the billions of dead he holds within his perfect memory. (John 5-28,29) What a blessed reason to hope in God!
With the gift of your memories of Earl they will bring you great joy. When a loved one becomes a memory that memory turns into treasure.
May you and yours lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad time. (PSALMS 83-18)

Aunt Joanne, Linda, Laurie and Jimmy,
I’m so sorry to hear about Uncle Eggsy’s passing. I have many fond memories of the times we shared at the Homer homestead and the many other family gatherings that brought us all together. He was such a kind, laid back, happy guy. I will always remember his special quiet presence and all the great things he always shared about his wonderful family who meant so much to him. I wish I could be there to give you all hugs. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find peace and strength in the coming days by leaning on each other and those who are there to support you.
Much love,
Judy, Todd, Kyle, Tyler and Ryan Brennan
