We are so saddened by the void he leaves in the 101 Bible Class of Central Baptist, yet we know he's claimed his reward in Heaven. His "special seat" in our class will be empty & his warm smile, handshakes & greetings will be sorely missed, but he's forever in our hearts. A true & faithful servant of our Father.

101 Bible Class Members & Jan Alton Cobb, (secty./treas)

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
