Sermon Tone Analysis

Dear Friends,

We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Terry Allread.

Let us pray.

O God, you have ordered this wonderful world

and know all things in earth and in heaven.

Give us such faith that by day and by night,

at all times and in all places,

we may without fear commit ourselves

and those dear to us

in this life and in the life to come.

Amen.

ITHACA — Terry Allread, age 65, of Ithaca, Ohio, formerly of Greenville, passed away Thursday, November 22, 2018, at Rest Haven in Greenville, following a brief illness.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Dana; parents, Howard and Jayne Allread and brother, Craig Allread.

He was a 1971 graduate of Greenville High School.

Terry is survived by his son, Nick who is married to Krickett Allread; stepsons, Frank who is married to Rachel Lines, Craig Via and Josh Via and grandsons, Lucas, Brandon and Kaden; sister, Becky who is married to Ken Moore; brothers, his twin, Larry Allread and Doug who is married to Nit Allread, along with numerous other relatives and friends.

Terry was a general roof contractor, he told me he had been on the roofs of several homes in Darke county.

You would often see him on roof, and his beloved Saint Bernard, Ginny, waiting for him on the ground.

He loved Ginny, and told her with him everywhere he went.

In fact, he has her portrait painted of his fence at home.

He also delivered newspapers for over 20 years.

He would go through the drive through at McDonalds to pick up something for him and Ginny, then off to deliver the news.

He also loved watch Auto Racing, and one time he went to Bristel with Nick, and he looked enough like Si, from Duck Dynasty, that someone yelled across the parking lot, “Hi, uncle Si!”

Terry was also a member of the Darke County Dog Club.

He will be missed by his family and Friends.

Words from his sister Becky.

Psalm 23

Almighty God,

j

into your hands we commend your son, Terry

in sure and certain hope of resurrection to eternal life

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

This body we commit to the ground

earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.

Yes, says the Spirit, they will rest from their labors

for their deeds follow them.

Gracious God,

we thank you for those we love but see no more.

Receive into your arms Terry,

and grant that increasing in knowledge and love of you,

he may go from strength to strength

in service to your heavenly kingdom;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

The pastor dismisses the people with the following or another blessing:

Now to the One who is able to keep you from falling,

and to make you stand without blemish

in the presence of God's glory with rejoicing,

to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,

be glory, majesty, power, and authority,

before all time and now and forever.

Amen.
