The Bible gives us the wonderful prospect of seeing our loved ones again on a paradise earth. At Psalms 37:9-11 & 29, it gives us the hope of living forever on a paradise earth. It will be a time when Isaiah 33:24 will take place and “no resident will say ‘I am sick.” On this paradise earth, Rev. 21:4 promises us that “death will be no more.” I know this may not relieve your deep grief at this time, but please take faith in God’s promises.

I am one of Lacy and Cuba Murray's granddaughters, and I remember as a young girl, we would all go to Earl and Mary Lou's house for a family get-together around Christmas. Earl had such a presence when he walked into a room, and was such a kind man. Mary Lou, Butch, Jeff, Barry, Pam and Michael...you are all in our thoughts and prayers. May your blessed memories help your through this difficult time. - Linda Stokley Hudgins and Husband Michael

So sorry for your loss. I have had the pleasure of knowing the entire Rakes family. Plus the extra special pleasure having having taught most of the kids, not to mention coaching Jeff & Mike. What a great family. My thoughts & prayers are with you guys always.

My wonderful memories of meeting Earl and Mary Lou were on Kathi and Mike's wedding day. They were the first people we saw as we arrived at the church parking lot. Mary Lou introduced herself and Earl to us. Even though we had just met, we felt like we had known them for years! They were obviously overjoyed on this wonderful day, and I have never forgotten them. We send our heartfelt sympathy to Mary Lou and her family (with special thoughts of Mike, Kathi and their children). God Bless!
