We got some sad news last week. My wife's brother, Rusty, passed away due to multiple chronic conditions that he had been struggling with for many years. Some of those conditions were the result of years of alcohol abuse at an early age. Rusty had been sober for many years thanks to organizations like AA and strong support from friends and family, but the health issues were a lasting reminder of the disease that haunted him. We were lucky to see friends and family at the funeral that we had not seen for decades. Everyone remembers Rusty's sense of humor and his infectious laugh. I remember the day that Rusty visited us and grinned from ear to ear as he water-skied with us. One of his close friends spoke to Rusty about his faith consistently and assured us that we would see him again one day. I'm pretty sure I have posted this song in the past, but this is the one that the family elected to play during the memorial service. Take a few minutes to listen if you can.
