To JC's Family- Our deep sympathy to all of you. JC was a fine gentleman and a professional educator. He helped many students and was/is a friend to many in McCurtain County. He lived a Christian life and we believe he is now in Heaven with his parents and wife. May all of you be comforted by God's Love. May you be comforted by Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit. God Bless You All. Sincerely, John and Mally Randolph

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on your departed veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of your Son they may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in you with your saints forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
