My brother Mike Upchurch just called me to let me know that Earl passed. Even though I'm far away in miles, my heart and prayers are being sent to Earl's family. We both walked to Hillside High School many mornings. May God continue to bless his family. Love Barb & Quincy Davis

I am very sorry for your family's loss. The loss of a loved one can be the most difficult thing that a person may have to ever experience in their lives. Please allow me to share something that has brought me some comfort in difficult times. Revelation chapter 21 and verse 4 says 'And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will morning nor outcry nor pain anymore the former things have passed away.' Imagine a world where death and pain are gone, and where there will be no tears because the bad things we deal with today will be done away with. How beautiful it will be for us also to see our loved ones again as the bible fortells. (John 5:28,29) I hope that this has brought you a measure of comfort. And may the God of all comfort, comfort you during this difficult time
