My prayers are with the family. Robert is home at last and to see our blessed Savior face to face, what a honor and a priviledge. Heaven is more precious.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Bobby Slabaugh. He was an outstanding baseball player and mentor, but he was a better friend. I have great memories of Bobby. He taught me so much.

Dear Joy & family...How blessed we have been to call him our friend. He was a sincere & loving Christian with a great heart. He radiated a warmth that made you feel special. He smiled even when we knew he didn't feel like it. He will truly be missed by those who were touched by his life. We are grateful to know he is with His Lord.(Psalms 116:15) We sincerely wish we could have shared dinner one more time & played your favorite game of "Sequence". You both sure were good at it. Joy, may God, the father of our Lord Jesus, grant you & your family His comfort & peace. We love you, Phyllis & Bill..2nd.Cor. 1:3-4
