The loss of a man whose life was a reflection of God's eternal love, the loss of a man respected as a professional and loved educator, the loss of a man who exemplified the best as a grandfather and father, and a man whose faith shaped and made better the lives of those close and made better humanity as a whole, is a tremendous loss for this world. The loss of this man to this world is an eternal gain for Heaven and a part of what will make the eternal brotherhood in Paradise one man closer to what our Creator intended. Prayers are with you Rufus and Jeremiah as you carry on the faith and purpose that is now your legacy.

My condolences and prayers to the family. May God bless  and comfort you during the loss of your loved one.

May fond memories of days and years gone by and the presence of Almighty God be your strength during this time.
