Blanton Lutrell Ruff

Message from Frederick Nikonchuk Jr

To the Family ,
I would like to express how sorry to hear of your loss. I recently lost my father. The pain of losing a loved one is a pain that seemingly never goes away. However, the pain can lessen when we think of what God has promised to do for us.
At 2 Cor 1:3,4 the Bible states: "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
What comfort does he provide us? First of all, at 1 Cor 15:26 it says: "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." So God views death as an enemy and will eventually remove death.
Secondly, Jesus gave us hope when at John 11:25 he said: "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:" So there is a chance to see our loved ones again under better conditions.
This comfort from the Bible has helped me in dealing with the loss of my father and I hope it will help your family to some degree with your loss.

My condolences to Blants family. Revelation 21:3,4 speaks of a time when these things will be gone. My love goes out to everyone this tragedy affected.

Blanton...just looking at the photo, I can still see him wearing this outfit in school. What funny memories I have of us in school. You were my best friend then, and time passed but we manage to stay in touch through social media. To the family, I send my deepest condolences and pray that you stay encouraged. He was such a special individual that touched so many lives through his sense of humor. I love you.
