After 20 years of fighting a courageous battle with cancer, Glynn Eldridge Cook of Ashburn, Georgia, went to be with his Lord from his home on October 23, 2016 where according to Revelation 21:4 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” NKJV
