My thoughts and prayers go out to Geraldine and the family. It has been many years since I have seen Earl or the rest of the family, but he is in part responsible for who and what I am today. He mentored me as a 17-18 year old kid back in 1971-73 and helped me answer my call to preach God's word. It took me 30+ years to answer the call, but today, I am the pastor of a church in Lansing, Michigan and I will always thank God for what I learned from brother Earl. I am comforted to know that he is home now with our Lord and Savior.
