When we first moved here almost 30 years ago one of the first couples to make us feel welcome were Lonnie and Peggy. They had 4 sons. When we started going to our current church, Grace Point Baptist Church the pastor was one of their sons Rodney. He died of an apparent heart attack about 5 years ago at the age of 45.
Another of their sons, Guy, was a principal of one of the local high schools and former basketball coach. Last year he was in a severe automobile accident and survived for about 4 months before he also died. He was in his late 40's. Before he died his mother, Peggy, also had a heart attack and died.
This past Monday another of the sons, Marlin, had a heart attack and died. He was 57. We went to his visitation this evening and saw Marlin's wife and his father and his only surviving brother, Greg.
We are not supposed to outlive any of our children, especially not 3 of them. Please be in prayer for this Christian family as they bury yet another family member tomorrow.
