This morning about 6:50am, I received a phone call from my sister-in-law, Deborah. She was calling to let us know that Perry's uncle, Rudolph Crook, had passed away earlier this morning. He was Perry's mother's sister's husband. He was always such a fun person to be around and I know he will be dearly missed. Please keep this family in your prayers as they face the difficult days ahead. I do not know any arrangements yet, but will update when I do.
Update: Visitation will be held Wednesday (tomorrow) from 4-6pm. The funeral will be Thursday at 2pm. Please keep Perry, the girls, and me in your prayers as we travel tomorrow and Sunday.
Update 2: We're home! Even in the midst of despair, we can find a reason to praise God! During our visitation with the family just before the funeral, we found out that Uncle Rudolph had made a profession of faith just 3 weeks ago. The family was at peace with his death and Aunt Opal said she felt so lifted up just knowing he would be in Heaven eternally. Isn't it wonderful to think of being able to celebrate someone's life rather than mourning their death?

Mr Rudolph was a very jolly and happy person. He was the type of person everybody enjoyed being around. The Bible tells us that God created us with an emptiness that only He can fill, so having that personal ralationship with Jesus Christ brings unexplainable peace into a person's life. God is waiting for others to do what Mr Rudolph did. Amazing Grace!
