Rodney, Luann, Kelly, Madilyn, and Logan, My prayers have been with you all month since hearing that Eric is with the Lord. Although you continue to grieve and miss him, you are not without hope. "For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep...Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4) May the Lord encourage you through His Word!
