Reuel Perdue Cron

Died on September 29, 2026, at the age of 83.

In a word,

There are three things

That last forever:

Faith, Hope, and Love;

But the greatest

Of them all is Love

1 Corinthians 13

These are the beautiful words that Reuel based his faith, marriage, and life on without question.
