Harlene and Robbie - So sorry to hear of your father's passing. He lived well, doing much he wanted to do. During Ocean City days many years ago, fondness for the beach had him, Harriet, and Dee spread out on a blanket on the sand early in the morning, waiting for the sun. Wade, Norman, and I would be inside playing cards, avoiding all that. It made for a lot of laughs. R.I.P., Marshall.

People of different faiths are keenly interested in God's promise to Abraham that through his seed people of all nations will be blessed. (Genesis 22:18) One of these blessings is the hope of a resurrection through this seed. Even though your hurt may be great at this time, one day it will be joyous when your loved one will be among the happy throngs who benefit from this promised blessing. You have my sincere condolences.
