To the Ewing Family - I know your hearts are grieving right now. That's to be expected. But what a great comfort it must be to know where Mr. Ewing arrived when he left this world. Not everyone can be assured of that when they lose a loved one. Be prayerful and stay close to God. He'll comfort you. A sister-in-Christ.
