Uncle Coon you will be deeply missed but my hope is we will all find comfort in God's promise:

God’s Promise

God never promised a life without pain,
Laughter without tears or sun without rain.
But He did promise strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears and the light for the way,
And for all who believe In His Heaven above
He rewards their faith In His everlasting love.

We are going to miss you Uncle Coon. You always had a smile on your face and a kind word to say. Psalms 121:1-2 says, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth". Family, may God strengthen you during this difficult time. Be encouraged. I love you.

To those who loved Mr. Mays, you have my deepest sympathy. I hope you find peace.
Many people turn to the Bible for comfort at a time of grief. I looked up a couple of scriptures that you might find comforting.  In John 5:28.29 Jesus promises a resurrection for those in the memorial tombs, and in Revelation there is a description of the kind of world those brought back will see.
It's Revelation 21:1-4. 
I hope this helps some. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. If you wish to contact me my name is Steve, my email is comfort2016@post.com
