I am very sad to hear of the passing of your beloved Bobby. Our world is definitely sadder today because Bobby is not here to make us “laugh out loud.”
May the special memories that you shared with Bobby give you comfort and strength.
Rest In Peace Brother Robert. I thank the Lord for his life for he loved the Lord.
Sister Tammie, the good Lord will carry you in Jesus name. Amen.
My Uncle Bobby was a Great Man . I will always remember his smile. He would show up at my workplace Kroger what ever location I was transferred or promoted to , and we would talk for a long period of time. He would make me laugh ,but I would want to cry because I was happy to see him. He was always on a mission helping someone, cutting lawn , etc, it was always putting others first. I know for a fact that he is in Heaven carrying on his Missionary and Military duties protecting, spreading the word of God ,and making everyone laugh with his kind and friendly gestures. God placed an Angel in his life Aunt Tammy and she will never be forgotten,and Bentley the Protector is now left to take care of her. God is awesome he loaned Uncle Bobby to us for a moment, but that moment will not be forgotten. God is Great and he deserves all the Praise.

May God continue to give you strength, in this most difficult time. May Jesus give you peace and, power. And May the Holy Spirit, give you comfort!
My dear sweet brother, gone but not forgotten. A part of me is broken today. Only God and time can heal my pain. You are no longer suffering after your courageous battle and for that I am thankful. You were a true solider who fought to the very end. Your smile radiated joy and could light up a room. I could not have asked for a more loving brother than you. You were truly a free sprit and enjoyed life to the fullest. May you rest in eternal peace until we meet again.
Love you sister,
Brenda
I was shocked and saddened to learn yesterday, that Bobby got his angel wings. I imagine your grief must be overwhelming. Bobby was thoughtful and generous, and his devotion to family and church was admirable. It’s been over two years since I have seen Bobby, but he always has a radiant smile that is so rememberable.
I wish you and your family peace, and I’m here to support you during this difficult time.
