It was a pleasure to have met you Brother Etheridge. Naturally, you were like a father with words of wisdom and positive direction. In Christ, you are my spiritual brother and I'm looking forward to that day when we see each other again. To Brother Etheridge's family, I pray for your comfort during this time of sorrow.

1Thessalonians 4:13-18 ... and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
