Fred, I'm saddened to hear of the passing of "Dad" McCarroll. As you know, we've alway called ourselves "Brothers from other Mothers." My family was your family and your family was my family. I'm grieving with you and trying to keep the prayers going for you and the family. Mr.McCarroll will be missed but the Scriptures assure us that those who die in Christ are "...absent from the body and present with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8).
