  11. I would like to express my condolences to your family, it can be hard for friends and family to find the right words to express at difficult times like these. The Bible is a great source to look into and has helped me personally when My dad passed away. Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever in a peaceful beautiful paradise earth. (Isaiah 35:5,6 John 5:29) A comforting thought is at Revelation 21:3,4, where it states “…And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry be anymore the former things have past away”. This scripture gives us hope for the future! You can also find comfort in Acts 24:15 – Death does not end it all. May Jehovah God bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time. (Ps.46:1, Ps.83:18)

  12. Tub was born just three months after me. I will always remember sticking up for each other when our big brothers picked on us. But mostly I will remember his sense of humor, he always made me laugh. I have always felt blessed to have Tubby as one of my cousins.

  13. Thoughts and prayers to the whole family.Tubby will be missed by all his friends and family.Rest in peace bud.J.Rod
