    To the family, my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. As you cope with your loss, may you find comfort in knowing that God promises to put an end to all the things that have plagued mankind for centuries including death (Revelation 21:3,4). May you find peace in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about them and bring them back again (Job 14:13,15). May these words from God's word, the Bible give you comfort now and strong hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.

    George, Sheena and Toni. I love you very much. Rip was one of the kindest yet sweetest men I have ever known. My daddy thought of him as his little brother instead of him being his nephew. I have many sweet memories of your mom and dad and your family while growing up. Praying for all of you during this time. Rip will be terribly missed. He was loved by all of us and he will be cherished in our memories forever.
