Marilyn-
We are so sad to hear about our dear brother Bob. His faithful course was evident - right up to the day he was going to make his calls at the hospital when he fell. What a wonderful example of love and devotion he set for all of us. Bob brought joy to so many and I find myself smiling just thinking of him in his painter whites working on the year text sign at the hall. Please know how sorry we are for you and your extended family. Our prayers are with you during this especially difficult time.
Much Christian love,

BRYAN PARKER
