Dear Mrs. Ruby and family, I am so sad to hear Mr. Earl has passed away but happy he is now in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are in my prayers and I miss seeing your smiling face. I was in Baltimore and had lunch with Becky when I heard but had to come back to South Carolina on Sunday early. In Christian friendship,

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of brother Earl. I pray that the memories of his smile and kind words will bring comfort as well as knowing that he is most definitely in a much better place. May God's Spirit bring comfort and peace to you all during this time of bereavement.

Dear Graul Family~ Please know we stand alongside you to share the burden of your grief, hoping our quiet presence will minister to your heart. As you walk through these difficult days, please remember that you do not walk alone.
I, like many others, cherish fond memories of Mr. Earl’s faithfulness at MRBC. His life and ministry were undeniably a true testimony of God's grace. Indeed, he has left a lasting legacy through his wonderful family that gives glory to God. This time of sadness offers us all a time to reflect upon the challenge passed along to us and to future generations who share the privilege of carrying the light of salvation, lifting high the cross of Christ.
While we who remain have certainly lost a friend and important pillar of the faith community, Heaven has gained a shining soul!
Falling gently into His tender arms of mercy. Transported into the very presence of the Living Lord... Meeting the Savior's loving gaze. Breathing in the pure holiness of Almighty God. Walking the streets of gold… Being in perfect mind and body. Fully realizing the power of the resurrection. And blending “hallelujahs” with the myriads of angels and all the saints who have gone before -- praising forever and ever the Lamb who was slain!
I can only …imagine.
May the God of all comfort grant you His abiding peace.
Your friend in faith,
Tamsen
