  10. He was a great father-in-law. Over the years he was always there to help us with home repairs, car repairs, etc. I will miss the conversations about the basketball, cars, car projects and many other areas. Gene was main reason I stayed interested in cars over the years and a factor for starting my current project that is still in works after 8 years. While Kim has been so understanding while I work on the project, when finished the first cruise will be dedicated to Gene. He will always be a great man.

  14. To my precious Mother in law: Heaven surely holds a place for you in the throne of Christ Jesus who offered His body a sacrifice for those who believe in Him and look for His coming in hope of Eternal Life. Words cannot express the sorrow in my heart for your great loss of one of the greatest men we have ever known. All my love and sentiment unto you with the promise that Christ has given us through the sanctification of His blood which atones us with the ‘Father’ that we might be offered up unto Him without spot or blemish and wholly transformed into the image of His Dear Son who came as a ransom for us whom God loved before the world was formed. His fore-knowledge of us did predestinate us to the adoption of children unto Him who loved us throughout all creation, for it was for the increase of His Kingdom and the Glory thereof that He made the earth and the heavens above us. Our hope, which is not a hope but rather Christ’s assurance to all who believe in Him, is that the resurrection of our bodies is the expectation of all on earth who have loved the Father through the Son with whom we are now the Heirs of Righteousness unto the ever increasing glory of the Father, may His Name be praised! It is our right to enter into ‘Eternal Life’ with the Lord as His blood was shed for us and not in error, it was the will of the Father who subjected Him to taste death for us that we should never die. Seeing that we are offered such a great and overwhelming promise, let us look unto the Lord our Savior, the Guarantor of all the promises of God unto His dear children. Tuney has preceded us in Life but not death, for Jesus has promised; ‘He that believes in me shall never die.’ He has been delivered from the ‘body of this first death’ and the second death has no power over him. He now rests with Christ in the paradise that Christ has prepared for the righteous and, along with all the righteous of all generations, awaits our soon arrival. I pray for your comfort in this most difficult time and for the whole family. Please don’t be distressed for He that appointed us unto Life Eternal is only a breath away, and He has promised your place with Him and all the righteous of the earth of all time. With all my heart and the Spirit within me, may the Peace of God be with you and comfort your precious soul. Yours in Christ…. Kenny Bryson
