Mr. Redus, as we called him, loved being part of the Mission Devine Ministry since Mission Devine first began. Mr. Redus is best remembered for his kind and gracious heart, for being dependable and having great integrity, for playing the occasional practical joke, for being a dedicated husband, father and grandfather, and for demonstrating his faith in how he lived his life.
We will miss his physical presence here with us but we will always see him in our memories as we go about our Ministry.

Some people come into our lives
and quickly go.
Some stay for a while
and leave footprints on our hearts.
And we are never, ever the same.
