My condolences to the Owens family. Larry is from my hometown, Holly Hill. His mom was one of my teachers when I was in eighth grade many years ago. I am sorry to hear of his death. The death of a loved one is a very difficult time. May you be comforted by the words found at Psalm 147:3 which says: He (God) heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds. And the wonderful promise for the future at Isaiah 33:24 which says: And no resident will say: "I am sick". The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error. These scriptures will help you cope with the grief and sadness at this time of bereavement.
