A Tribute
by Greg Englebright

I received an e-mail
from a childhood friend, Greg Englebright, upon his
hearing of Mom & Dad’s passing.
Greg’s parents, Ross and Frances Englebright,
moved to Herod from Although Greg and I
went to different schools (I in Hardin County and Greg in Pope County), we
were “best friends” during our formative years and enjoyed many good times
together, listening to the Beach Boys records, building tree houses,
hunting…. Ross and Frances
eventually moved back to Carmi when they retired, but Greg remained behind,
living with Mom & Dad for several months until he finished high school at
With his permission, I share his thoughts…. |

David, I
received word today of "Mom and Dad’s" passing. As you know,
your parents were very special to me, and quite an inspiration in my
life. I don't know if you are aware or not, it was because of them I
came to know Jesus as my savior. When we were 12, they carried us to
bible school at the little Baptist church by the store and there I met
Jesus. I strayed far and wide over the years, but through His promise
to never leave me (and He didn't) and the Holy Sprit beating me up when I
strayed, my entire household is saved and serving Him.
David, every word you and Linda have in print about them is true and
correct. Always smiling, always encouraging, never complaining, never
condemning, always loving and always lifting up Jesus.
You have every right to be proud of the legacy they left. I
was sad when God Bless Greg Englebright |
