Jimmy, I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I didn't know until Sunday that you where the brother, Jimmy, that the paper had mentioned of because it didn't mention where you lived or I would had caught it had it said Ga. I didn't realize that you had so many brothers or sisters for you must had been the baby unless your sister, Linda, is the Linda that I gradurated with in 1964.
I went to pay my respect's to one of our school mates, Barbara Donnelly Worley, Sunday and was talking to a man about Lindy Mumpower and Robert Mumpower that had passed for I felt like I should know them and just couldn't place them after so many years. As we were talking (this man was a 1960 graduate from VHS and just recently retired from teaching at John Battle High School and his last name was Booher and his first name could had been Ralph but I am not sure), he told me that my brother David was at the funeral home paying his respect's to Robert Mumpower's family. Mr. Booher said David had gone to school with his brother, Jimmy, and that is when it hit me. I told him that I went to school with a Jimmy Mumpower and his wife Linda and that the Jimmy I know lived on King Mill Pike when he was going to VHS and his father was a dentist and that we lived in the big white house next to them on the corner on King Mill Pike and Valley Drive. Mr Booher told me that you were the brother to the Robert Mumpower that we were speaking of. I was shocked! Had the paper mentioned that you lived in Ga., I am sure that I would had made the connection and I would had come by to pay my respect's to you and the family.
I just want to let you and the family know that I am so sorry for your loss and may God grant each of you peace and comfort during your time of sorrow. I know first hand of the loss of a GREAT brother and knowing that he is with the Lord and our dear loved ones and that he is much better off than we are is how you bear the pain. Knowing that some day we will all be together again (for that broken circle will come together again) is how you get thru and the beautiful memories that our dear loved ones engraved in our hearts that nothing can take away. Our loved ones are now rewarded and living in The Promise Land of "Beulah Land, Sweet Beulah Land" and that is how we can bear the loss. May God bless you and all of the family during this sorrowful time and bring to each of you peace and comfort.

I am the widow of Ford Carmack and have not seen Bob for many years, but we always remembered him as being the big brother of the Mumpower Clan,a special person who at an early age helped to filled the void left by his father's early death.

Dear Rebecca, Chester and family,
Bob was a very special friend over a long period of time.
Now he has moved on to his reward in a much better place
and he is not suffering. I will remember other times that we shared
with a smile as he would have wanted.

Chester and Rebecca, Your Dad was my oldest brother..I have alot of good family memories that I carry with me. I know that Bob is "whole" now and able to walk and talk with his Dad, Mother and many friends that have preceded him in death. His painful, struggling journey of many years is over. Try to remember him as he was before his illness and focus on good memories. Aunt Linda.

Hey Bob: My ONLY BROTHER:
After visiting you in the former placed you were resting, while waiting for the Lord to call you home, You Must be in Heaven by Now.
Knowing how much you love to express your self orally but with the stroke, could only listen for the past five years when love ones came to visit. My last visit with you, we shared a life time of our experiences together as brothers while you enjoyed that all natural chocolate milk shake just like to ones we would get at Bassett's Dairy in Bristol years ago. I enjoyed getting that red scooter for you to tool around the grounds where you were trapped physically by your body functions. I helped you enjoy the last days in your worldly home.
Now in Heaven, you can enjoy life again and visit with friends and family amoung the angles of God. I will share my love with Martha, your better half and lover for over 27 years, and will enjoy our final years as close friends and laugh about you as we remember the good times.
We will miss you. You have taught us to enjoy life as we live upon our worldly home every second of everyday. Blessings of love to everyone you have touch upon earth. You did what your heart felt was right but you loved for them was endlessly. Your children, Rebecca and Chester, I hope they WILL realize this love THAT now after you are gone!
I LOVED YOU VERY MUCH, Thanks for being my brother, I will take OUR LOVE and experiences with me and REJOICE as they sang out at our father's (DR ROBERT CHESTER MUMPOWER) memorial service: JOY TO THE WORLD. Your ARE MY only brother, Joe.
