It is sad to part with loved ones who were so dear to us in life, but death is a debt that we all must pay. I only knew Bro. Yarbrough for a short time but I found that to know him was to love him. May God bless the relatives and friends of this Brother. May you feel that your loss is Heaven's gain. I know that heaven is made brighter for you with the presence of your father there. In Luke 12:40 Jesus says " Be ye therefore ready also, for the son of man cometh at the hour when ye think not." Rev. C.E.
