Memoriam
I received some really bad news this mourning. Kimbo tried to take his own life about three weeks ago. He was in the hospital and I didn't even know he was out yet. This mourning I got the news that he succeeded this time. Kimbo is dead. I am waiting to here exactly what happened to him. Dennis is with Sharlette. She is taking it real bad.
Dave was at work like me and his job is real busy as well. I am going to make arrangements to drive up as soon as I know when the funeral is going to be. Kimbo always lived a tough life, I'm not sure what was bothering him and maybe we never will. Hopefully he is at piece now. We will miss him dearly. Love you all and I hope you can let everyone now for me.God Bless You All, Larry
There is much to be missed and much to be thankful for experiencing this life.
Although he was cantankerous in age, he knew the Lord and can now debate with Him face to face.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but will all be changed-in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and mortal with immortality. when the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your victory? where, O death , is your sting?" 1Corinthians 15:51-55 |
