    My condolences to the Sumner family. Tyrone was my LTH and TSU band brother. I tried to catch up with him but not this way. My heart is truly broken. I love him as a brother. Isa. 25:8, 9: “He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. . . . And in that day one will certainly say: ‘Look! This is our God. We have hoped in him, and he will save us. This is Jehovah. We have hoped in him. Let us be joyful and rejoice in the salvation by him.’”
