JOYCE,
I HAVE JUST LEARNED OF BOBBY'S DEATH. I REALLY LOVE HIM. HE HAD THE KINDEST HEART AND LOVED DOING THINGS FOR PEOPLE. SEVERAL TIMES, HE MADE FULL MEALS FOR MAMA. HE KNEW HOW SHE LOVED FISH AND HE MADE SURE SHE GOT ALL SHE WANTED.
I REMEMBER ONE TIME I TOLD HIM I HAD A FEAR OF BEING HOMELESS. HE SAID AS LONG AS I AM ALIVE YOU WILL NEVER BE HOMELESS. NOW HE IS AT HOME WITH HIS MOM AND DAD,OMER AND THE REST OF HIS LOVED ONES.
YOU CAN BE PROUD TO SAY HE WAS YOUR BROTHER.
PLEASE CALL ME AT 745-1115 WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT. I WILL LIFT YOU UP TO JESUS AS YOU GO THRU THESE DAYS AHEAD. IF I CAN HELP YOU IN ANYWAY, I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU.
