Tex and I were high school sweethearts. He was a great person and has always held a special place in my heart. My prayers are with him and all of his family.
Please accept my family’s heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. Out of all the things that afflict humans, death is truly the most excruciating. May you find comfort in fond memories of them, and hope in God’s biblical promise to “wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more.”
