Condolences for Merlin Olsen

My mother (Janet) & my father (Rich) told me that his sister used to watch me and change my diapers. I don't know if I met him, but loved him on Little House. My heart goes out to the family.

My condolences go out to the Olsen family: During your time of mourning, may the following scriptures comfort you and give you hope for the future.

While the Bible calls death an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26), God’s Word assures us that death will not plague man forever! At Isaiah 25:8, the prophet foretold: “He [Jehovah God] will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces”. These promises will be accomplished by means of God’s Kingdom, which Jesus taught us to pray for. (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 6:10) Also, by means of God’s Kingdom, even our dear loved ones who lie asleep in death will be resurrected – literally, awakened back to life on a paradise earth! (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 37:10, 11; John 11:11-44; Acts 24:15)

At John 5:28, 29, Jesus reveals more about this grand event, stating: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. Indeed, our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death will live again.

May these scriptures and all of God’s promises comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)

I had the honor of meeting Merlin at the Hall of Fame in Canton in 2001. I was invited by my best friend Jack Youngblood, who was introduced in to the Hall by Merlin.
Attend many functions during the four days and listened to many stories from Jack & Merlin about old times. He was a indeed a wonderful person.
