Dear Lusk family,
Please accept my condolence and deep regrets for your loss at this difficult and painful time for I lost my entire family to this enemy death and I would like to share where I found help at that time. I found comfort and hope in what I read in Jehovah Gods word the Bible at John5:28,29 there it tells us we’ll see our love ones again in the resurrection when Jesus brings them back here on earth and Isaiah25:8 states that this enemy death will be swallowed up forever. These scriptures along with others help me cope with my loss and get through each day because now I know I’ll see my love ones again and so can you. I wanted to share this with you now when comfort and hope is needed hoping that this will help you also in some way for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this time and please know that I do share your grief and hope you’ll feel free to let me know if I accomplished my purpose. Hoping to hear from you. Sincerely, GM

Troy and family, we are so very sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. He was a kind fun loving man. I’ll never forget the time we came to the arena for a show and your dad had mowed the grass and set cones out for our personal perfect parking spot!! Lots of memories. Cherish them. Prayers to you all as you go through this difficult time.

Nancy, Bruce, Lori,Troy and all of your wonderful family, I’m so very sorry for your loss! Doesn”t matter if it was a sudden loss or a loss you knew was coming ,it’s still the hardest thing in the world to go through, especially when the loved one was as GREAT as Ron! I will cherish all the Nascar times shared with Ron and Nancy at Daytona and Charlotte, we had so much fun going to the many garages and getting drivers autographs and chatting with them! Had every intention of being there today but got the times mixed up! So glad I stopped a few weeks ago and got to visit! Ron was one of the kindest men I knew and he will be sadly missed! Love and prayers to you all!
