Dear Mrs. Edgar,
I was a youngster when Pastor Bob came to Falls Methodist Church in Philadelphia. I was so fortunate to have him as our minister when I was confirmed into the church. I will always remember the confirmation activities and learning experiences while at Falls Methodist. It was a pleasure to have known Pastor Bob. He will be missed. My condolences to you and your family.
