Dear Riddleberger family, I am sorry to learn of your loss. No doubt in my mind the 2 Greensboro preacher Bob's are together with our Lord, sharing adventures like they did as boys. Loss is never easy, yet I know we will meet again and although memories are what is left I have peace knowing right where they are... God bless you during this difficult time, you each remain in my prayers.
