Millie, I'm sorry I was not there. I was in heart. We know when
Robert went home to heaven. How joyful it must have been! That day at last, his Risen Lord Jesus he could see.
No greater happiness than for Robert to see Him Face to Face, and see the love in His eyes and feel His warm embrace; as He said "Now you are home MY SWEET ROBERT"
Millie my prayers and thoughts are with you. This will be his First Christmas in Heaven with his Savior. His best ever for him.

We are happy that Robert is now at rest with his Savior. This truly will be his best Christmas ever. Can you imagine the celebration? We are unable to attend the service as we have company coming in from Texas Thurs. for just 2 nights. We heard about his death tonight at prayer meeting, and then looked in the paper .in the section of the obits I rarely read. We are praying for you all.

Bob truly showed the Grace and joy of Christ in his life. He constantly had a smile and was incredibly helpful--a true servant. There is nothing but fond memories of this incredible man. Thank the Lord that he is celebrating with the King today!
