To the family of Rich Guth, I am so sorry for your loss! Lean on the memories you have, the love to get you through this difficult time. Lean on Jesus in this time of need, remember his promise that as you surrender your life to him that his spirit now resides in you directing and guiding your path, that he would never leave or forsake us! Oh how I pray that Rich had a relationship with Jesus and not just head knowledge from school. Sorry to say that if Rich wasn´t born again, awakening the spirit, he will not can not go to a better place. That´s so sad, God had so much more planned for his life. Well my friend, I would like to say rest in peace, however separated from Jesus there is no peace, that would be the second death for eternity future! People take this mistake and learn from it, Repent! Turn away from your sin, turn to the only one who could take away your sin and shame Jesus Christ! He loves you so much, he died a gruesome death so we can all have life! To all reading this message, God bless!
