To Brother Goolsby, you have crossed the great divide. You have soared to a higher plain, that no eye share behold until their time to see. You are part of the brotherhood of the second "END". Tell them that the first END is far into their journey, and one by one we will shall be changed, from the mortal chapter to the immortal chapter. Where the Osiris will be everyday, and the Sabbath hath no end. On that GREAT day we shall all meet in the "END"! You now stand before the Great Embalmer! That old Epsilon feeling will never be the same...... Sleep on dear brother and take your rest Epsilon Nu Delta loved you, But God loves you best.

I'm just learning of Mr. Goolsby's death today (10/21/07). Our prayers and thoughts are with the Goolsby family now and in the days ahead. He was a good and interesting friend to have known over so many years. He and Mrs. Golsby were among the first NFD&MA members we met when we began attending conventions back in the early seventies. May God's blessing be with you.
