I Did Not Know Mr. Flournoy 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.

I Want To Offer My Condolences For Your Loss. Losing Someone We Love Is Truly Heartbreaking. I Have Personally Found The Words Of Isaiah 25:8 Very Comforting And I Hope You Will As Well. “He Will Swallow Up Death Forever And The Sovereign Lord Jehovah Will Wipe Every Tear From Their Eyes.” Imagine Our Heavenly Father Wiping Ore Tears Of Losing Our Loved Ones Away And Then Mending Our Broken Heart By Bringing Them Back To Life Through A Resurrection. We Will Have Them Back With Us Forever. How We Long For That Day.

Sam And I Connected At Dnr Where He Was The Parks Engineer And I Regulated Dams. Sam Was Always Reasonable, Full Of Stories, And With A Light Disposition. He Had A Hidden Sense Of Humor That, When Discovered, Made Him All The More Interesting To Work With. I Am Very Sorry He Has Passed On – I Will Miss Him.
