This website is in honor and loving memory for my husband
"Everett Franklin Hurst". Born in April the year 1908 and
whose soul was requested by our heavenly father in April the year 2004

colossians 3
Since you became alive again, so to speak, when Christ arose from the Dead, now set your sights on the rich treasures and joys of heaven where he sits beside God in the place of HONOR and POWER. Let heaven fill your thoughts; don't spend your time worrying about things down here. You should have as little desire for this World as a Dead person does. Your real life is in heaven with CHRIST and GOD. And when CHRIST who is our real life comes back again, you will SHINE with him and share in all his glories.
Away then with sinful,earthly things; deaden the evil desires lurking within you; have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust and shameful desires; don't worship the good things of life, for that is idolatry. God's terrible anger is upon those who do such things. You used to do them when your life was still part of this world; but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, haterd, cursing, and dirty language.

Don't tell lies to each other; it was your old life with all its wickedness that did that sort of thing; now it is dead and gone. You are living a brand new life that is continually learning more and more of what is RIGHT, and trying constantly to be more and more like CHRIST who created this new life within you. Wheather a person has CHRIST is what matters.
Since you have been chosen by GOD who has given you this new kind of LIFE, and because of his DEEP LOVE and CONCERN for you, you should practice Tenderhearted mercy and Kindness to others. Don't worry about making a good impression on them but be ready to SUFFER Quietly and Patiently. Be Gentle and ready to Forgive. Most of all, let LOVE guide your LIFE...

                                       
                      
   
                               
     


 LOVE, PATIENT,  

KIND


"A Saint"

Let me take a moment and tell you about why this man was so
special.  You see he had a heart that was bigger then any mountain.

And he had a twinkle in his eyes that were brighter then any
diamond. His voice was always so tender and kind.

 He was never
loud in words or actions. He always remained very peaceful.

 Most
of all Everett was humble.
 
Because of his compassion and his great
love for our Lord and Savior, he would routinely take his Bible
morning, noon, and night, sit by a lamp, and quietly read from the
beginning to the end, over and over and over........He could recite
many of the verses and parables that Jesus left for our instruction.

Because of his L O V E and R E S P E C T
towards me always, and to those along his path, he taught me a
great deal about life!

He was purposely placed at a specific time in the year of 1983 just
for me. His appointment was from God to meet me at that special
time! And wouldn't you know, he would be reading his Bible, when
we met.
 
As I look back in time I remember every minute of that first
encounter. This would be a time when my life would suddenly
change forever and the foundation that was being applied would
carry on in time unto his death.
 
God had a plan all along!

Everett loved his bicycle. Late in years he continued on riding his bike and at one
point was on the front page of the newspaper for being the oldest in
a race to make it from El Paso Texas to Florida on a bicycle. He left
many a young man behind!
 
Everett was fit and lean. Healthy foods
was a must and vitamins were many, but exercising was his passion,
he loved to run, and run he did. He would even run along the truck
while the crew rested and napped on its way back to clock out. The
crew would laugh alittle and joke, but Everett kept right up with the
county truck. But when the boys would tell a dirty joke, Everett said
he would always scold them, he didnot want to be a part of anykind
of filth. This was my Everett........

Everett loved me with all his heart and every ounce of blood he had
in him. He proved his love for me by not only his words, but also in
his actions. He would walk a mile, 10, 20, whatever it would take
if I ever needed anything.
 
Of course there was the car, but he would
go on foot, whatever it would take to be with me! I could always
depend on him, he would never let me down. He was my best friend.

I've often compared our Love like that of Romeo and Juliet.
Because it was so solid, so real, so genuine, with a flame that
would never die!

My darling husband, my every breath, my light in any dark tunnel,
was snatched away from me by a cruel and evil death at Easter
time in the year 2004, by people whom have never known the Love
such as I have.
 
If they had, they would have never killed him.
 
He was
murdered in a Death Camp-Nursing Home in Orange County CA. and
I his wife of 21 years was kept from seeing him the last 3 months of
this angel's life.
 
His wish before the court was to be returned to his
wife, and to be removed from that Death Camp. This was stated with
2 govt. witnesses, and a notary.
 
But his affadavit didn't stand up, so he
was sentenced to death.

LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT LOVE
REAL  LOVE

IT MEANS LAYING DOWN YOUR LIFE! GOING TO THE END
OF THE ROAD AT WHATEVER COST IT MAY BE.
FORFEITING  YOUR  LIFE,
FOR ANOTHER!

THIS   WAS   EVERETT'S   LOVE,  AND   THIS   IS   HIS
WIDOW'S   LOVE.....

The two are as one, and until death do they both part, so
shall that vow remain forever!

I love you Everett, I always will. I promise my heart will go on,
and I will never, no I will never give up on you, even in your
death.
 
You have left with me something that no one can ever
take away.  And that one gift is your Love...............................

It has been a great privilege and honor to have been called
Mrs. Rita Hurst
and I shall restore dignity and grace back unto your name for
as long as it shall take me, and when the grave swallows me
up with its sting, I will at last be finally happy, for I have come
home, not only to be with my Lord and Savior, but with the one
whose HEART was broken, in order that others may live!!!

I will live and present your legacy
my darling Everett, until God calls
me home!

  Bye bye my love, a thousand kisses I seal with this.
I love you forever and always,
your wife,
Rita
