This was shocking and unexpected news and I know all too well how hard this must be for you to bear. So many in our family have have been lost to us in much too short a time. My heart is with you as you begin the slow healing process of recovering from your grief.
Sending my love and condolences. I know how he is and will be missed. May the pain felt now by all who knew and loved him soon be replaced with all the loving and long lasting memories he gave us.
I HARDLY HAVE ANY WORDS..............I LOVED EARL ALSO AS SHERRY AND I HAVE BEEN BEST OF FRIENDS SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT TOGETHER AND THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT !! GOD IS CHOOSING HIS PEOPLE TO GO HOME AND BE WITH HIM. HEAVEN HAS GAINED ONE OF THE BEST. EARL WAS QUIET, HE WAS A KIND SOUL . HE LOVED SHERRY, HIS CHILDREN AND GRAND-CHILDREN, HIS CLOSE FAMILY. HE LOVED ANIMALS AND ALWAYS HAD ROOM FOR "ONE MORE". YOU WILL BE SO DEARLY MISSED AND I REMEMBER SOME OF MY LAST WORDS TO THIS WONDERFUL MAN WERE
"THANK-YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE"....................GOD HAS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU. LOVE YOU EARL !!!!
