I just read Eugene's obituary in the Martinsville Bulletin. I will always remember Eugene for his quiet, courteous behavior and his faithfulness to attending the Sunday School class that I taught at Martinsville Church of God and First Assembly of God. I delivered a Christmas card to him in late Dec. and he was awake! Now he is enjoying his eternal rewards! Marie Garrett

Dear Smith Family,
I am sorry for your loss.
You can find comfort in God's promises.
In John 5:28,29 - He is going to resurrect all those who have died, back to life here on earth. All the things that cause us sorrow, pain, and even death, will be gone forever - Revelation 21:3,4.
Ralph
