Debra, Ruby and the entire Brekeen family. We only found out today before curch service that Brother Brekeen had passed. I first met Brother Brekeen 21 years ago when John and I first married. He always met us with a smile, handshake and a hug. He loved and served the Lord each and every day. His presence will be missed, I can hear him saying "Rejoyce for I am with our Lord, Weep not tears for my passing but only tears of joy for me being home with our savior, for someday we will be together once again". The heart burns bright when it is led by the hand of the Lord. Put yourselves in his hands and he will lead you through the darkest of days and nights.
