I am so sorry to hear that your mother has passed. Your family was extremely kind to me growing up. I hope you have your fond memories to help in the grieving process.

I'm so saddened to hear of Sallie's passing! My heart and prayers are with you all at this time. I think of all those times we spent at the river and in Richmond and always smile! It's a comfort to know now that my Nan & Pop and Bob & Sallie are together again, square dancing in heaven now!!

Carolyn and family, I don't know if we have met or not but my parents, Thurman and Homazelle Royer were such good friends with your Mom and Dad. I do remember going down to the river with everyone once and your Dad used to ride my kids around in the golf cart and in the boat if I remember correctly. I do want to tell you how sorry I am to hear of Sallie passing. I used to see her and talk with both parents when they were at my parents house playing The game ! Sallie went to high school with my Dad. My prayers are for you and the entire family and may God Bless.

Carolyn, Bill, Robert and Letha,

I am so, so sorry for the loss of Sally, but rejoice that she is in Glory with so many of her family and friends! Some of the best memories I have as a child are laced with Bob and Sally and I have thought of them, as well as all of you so often through the years! What a blessing to have shared time with such a great family, thanks for letting me be a part! I can still picture Sally's smile and hear her laugh. I remember good times at their house in Richmond as well as at the river and loved watching her dance! My prayers are with you all.

Carolyn, I know we have lost touch over the years, but I hope you know how much we thought of Bob & Sallie, you, Bill, Robert & Letha. We were talking the other day about the trips to the river. Tell Bobby, I said hello. Pam, Ralph, Debra & Cindy.

Sallie was a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor. I was privileged and blessed to have known her and Bob.

Thinking of you all and hoping that you will find strength and comfort for these difficult days. Love, Linda Williamson
