    My love and prayers to all the family. I have so many wonderful memories growing up in Bayard with the Evans family. I know his beautiful smile will surely be missed. What a sweet man.

    Please accept my sincere condolences on your recent loss. May the God of peace, Jehovah, comfort you during this most difficult of times. I hope these 3 scriptures aid in that comfort. Thank you. Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." , Revelation 21:3,4 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” , John 5:28,29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life"
