I Did Not Know Mr. Talbott But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death So I Wanted To Say I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort At Times Like This Is The One Found At Revelation 21:4 That Says, “And He Will Wipe Out Every Tear From Their Eyes, And Death Will Be No More, Neither Will Mourning Nor Outcry Nor Pain Be Anymore. The Former Things Have Passed Away.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Anymore. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time.

Both Linda And I Were Saddened To Hear Of The Passing Of Uncle Morton. He Was A Gentleman, A Great Family Member, Cherished By All Who Knew Him, And An Outstanding Human Being. I Respected Him Immensely. He Took The Time To Send Me An Article The Charleston Gazette Had Done On His Life Not Long Ago. I Had It Laminated And Treasure It To This Day. God Blessed Him With A Long And Fruitful Life. What An Example He Was To All Who Knew Him. He Will Always Be Remembered For His Kind Ways And Gentle Spirit. John Curtis
