God strengthens us by giving us the "power beyond what is normal" to make it through each passing day. Psalm 46:1 says: "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress". Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God love you and he cares for you! (Psalm 36:7; 1 Peter 5:7)

My dearest family,
It is with deep sadness and yet joy that I write to you. I had the extreme pleasure of serving in the USMC with Rupert. He was my friend and my brother. Please contact me. I have pictures that you all may love to see. May his sweet voice and quick smile always be remembered. This earth has lost a good man, but heaven has gained an even greater saint. He will always be remembered. I miss my friend.

Dear McLean family,
I am so sorry for your loss. May you be comforted in knowing that God understands your pain and gives hope that can help relieve some of the pain you feel. That hope is found at John 5:25 "the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have paid attention will live." They and we will live in a world that Jehovah God purposed for mankind. (Revelation 21:4)

My Condolences to the family of my dear cousin, Rupert. I was shocked when I received the news of his passing, and still numb. No words can adequately express heartfelt sympathy and concern during this challenging season. I remember those days as a young boy chasing behind the Mclean Brothers group, and they added to my passion to sing. Rest in Peace cousin!
