"Ready to Go", Tribute to Bo Duncan

Charles “Bo” Duncan died from a heart attack last night. He was a first cousin to Jerry and lived just down the road from us.

His death was totally unexpected and I wrote this tribute to him this morning. Please pray for his wife and family, and for the members of the church where he was the pastor in Huntsville, AR.

“Ready to Go”
A Tribute to Bo Duncan
By Fink Holloway May 14, 2008

I know a fine man, who is called Bo.
He lived beyond the status quo.
And none of us thought that Bo
Would be the next one to go.
His death stunned us like a blow
And shook us all from head to toe.
But there is one thing we all know
If anyone loved God—it was Bo.
He loved his wife and family so,
And he loved us too. It really did show.
And we can find comfort because we know
Bo was right with God and ready to go.
Now all of us that live below
Ought to take lessons from our friend Bo.
Let your love for God and for others show.
None of us know when it will be our turn to go.
So make peace with God and then you’ll know
If God calls me today, I’m ready to go.
