Larry & family,
You have my sympathy for the loss of Larry. I pray that your faith gives you peace and hope.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18:
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus [cf Matthew 7:21; John 8:51].
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate his life.

So sad that you have gone Uncle Rick; (also for Auntie June's passing which I found out too late). I always thought you were such a happy and good person and whenever I saw you, you had a smile on your face. You always took good care of my auntie June also. My sympathies to Ronnie and Larry. Love, Laura (Uncle Bo's youngest daughter)
