So sorry to hear about your Dad and the circumstances. 82, God bless him, but it does look like he was going strong - good genes!

My prayers are with you and yours. Maybe it's a blessing to miss the coming sh!t show ...

Those that convinced him to get “vaccinated”, murdered your dad.

May your dad Rest In Eternal Peace. I know how it is to lose your father. I lost mine in 1989. I was only 23, he was only 57.

I am so sorry for your loss, Scrump

All the love in the world to you and your family

May God bring peace and understanding to you and your family, know that your Dad is in Heaven now!!! God Bless you Scrump!!!

Condolences and prayers to you and your family.

When you get a chance, try looking on YouTube for a series that Dr. Robert Jefferies, pastor of 1st Baptist Dallas, did on What Heaven is Like.

Very informative and completely Bible based. I think you will like it.

Precious pictures, Scrump. Thank you for sharing them. Praying for you, your step mom, and all the family, and all who knew and loved your dad. What a legacy he left behind in this world. God bless each of you. Praying.

Just got off the phone with my Stepmom.

The funeral will be tomorrow at noon at my Brother's Church, with my Brother conducting the service for my Father.

My Father will be buried next to his Mother and Father, in the Family plot at the local cemetery.

My Dad's place is on +/- 500 acres in East Texas (Hunt County) - it's the same place he was born.

My Grandfather built it up in increments picking cotton while living in a tent on the hill on the first acre he bought, and saving his money to buy a horse. The horse market was over the border in Oklahoma. My Grandad walked to Oklahoma to the market, bought a horse, and rode it back.

He then picked cotton until he had enough to buy another horse, rode the first one back to Oklahoma to the market, and rode back leading it.

Repeat, repeat, repeat, until he had a herd, which he leveraged to buy land, resulting in the 500 acres.

My Dad was born on the land.

My family's been on this place for many years... the nearest town (about 7 miles) is only about 700 people, so it's a very tight-knit community.

The doors are never, and have never been, locked at my Dad's house... and everyone knows that.

My Stepmom said that when they got home yesterday after running ragged making preparations; casket, floral, obit., etc, that she walked into the house to find the place filled with food - members of the Church and surrounding community that knew what had happened had come by while she was out, and had brought tons of dishes they'd made as condolences.

That's how it's supposed to be done.

God is Great.

I love you guys sincerely.

Thank you for sharing. It's a powerful witness and I am grateful for reading it.

My deepest condolences.

What you described in your update, Scrump, is exactly how it should be done. That's how we do it in Smalltown, USA.

Blessings to you and your family during this time, sir.

Yes Scrump, that's how it is done in my rural area. Nobody locks their doors here either. We've been here since 1868.

Fellow native Texan here, and I too reside in beautiful East Texas.


Scrump, my most profound sympathy to you and yours.

A father is someone who can never be replaced, and I know you'll miss him...

But...

He is in the arms of Jesus now, and I can only imagine with great wonder just what he is experiencing...

Pure joy and absolute peace.

Absence of pain.

A new body with no limit.

Seeing colors never seen, hearing sounds never heard...

and so much more!


We are just passing through, occupying until He returns or until we go to Him.



Dear Scrump, may you take comfort in this great truth:

to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Scrump, please dont let these powerful and beautiful images fade away, you should write a Bio of your Dad and call it :"An American Life" because your Dad (and mine) are what this country IS and should keep on being...I desk-topped bios of my grandmothers and my Dad and had to make 500 copies of the one Gramma!( We all had big families on the Indian side)and the young people who read about such lives can copy them. And amazingly, they were not complex people in those days, but honest, patriotic, family loving,kind, spiritual and good friends. Thank you for letting us know him through your sharing...it brought back a ton of memories probably to all of us, of our own families. God love you and yours.
And to all our GLP family: Hug your family members this new years and it will mean more for having shared this.

aLLÉLUIA! AMEN,XXX.

This is so outstanding. This is how I remember it being done!

You come from good beginnings :)

How special that will be to happen at your brother’s church and to have him officiate. Your town, friends and neighbors sound like something right out of a Hallmark movie. It’s the type of place most of us can’t imagine and would love to have grown up in. Hard working people with integrity and compassion. I’m so glad for you to have such caring support. Your dad made a lot of that possible with the contributions he made to his community.

My thoughts are with you. I lost my dad on New Year's Eve 1995. He will welcome your father into Heaven. Bless you and your family.

What a beautiful tribute. I'm sorry Scrump that you had to lose your dad but so happy you know without a doubt exactly where he is today.

As you no doubt already know there is NOTHING on the planet than good old CHURCH LADY FOOD!!!

Grace and peace be with you and your family.

2 Corinthians 5:8

We are confident I say and willing rather to be absent from
the body and to be present with the Lord.

my condolences, scrump.

Sad to hear of your dad's passing away. Best wishes to you Trump.

My Dad was buried today surrounded by friends and family, and next to his Mom and Dad.

We did the service at my Brother's Church, with my Brother leading the service - the Church was packed and it was beautiful.

You guys are the most wonderful people on the planet, and I can't properly express my gratitude at your overwhelming support, but again, thank you sincerely.

I'm locking this thread as an online Memorial to my Dad.

01/06/40 - 12/29/21.

Rest In Peace - I Love You Dad
