We are saddened by the passing of retired Shelby County Fire Department Chief Clarence L. Cash, Jr. Chief Cash was 71 and a proud public servant as our SCFD Chief and member of the Shelby County 9-1-1 Board. We send our sympathies to his family and hope he will rest in peace.

Is it just me or is that hopes he rests in peace bit a tad odd...?
You
I would say slightly “quaint”, but not in a derogatory or critical sense.
‘Hope’ is appropriate. Declaring someone is in heaven is almost like making judgment. That’s Jesus Christ’s job, not ours. We hope. We have strong feelings. God KNOWS.
