Not sure what to say?

I'm so sorry to hear about my cousin Robert's death. He was a fine man whom I admired very much. "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father´s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." - John 14:1-3. I've uploaded a picture of Robert and his uncle (my dad) Luther James Kelly, taken when he was a baby.

Dearest Sara, Luke and Family, I loved Brother Bob and Joan with all my heart. I have known them over 30 years. We attended Trinity Church and The Church of The Good Shepherd. I remember a couple of Brother Bob's sermons to this day! He was truly kind, and an incredibly wise educated man, with the most loving and gentle sprit. I remember a couple of Brother Bobs sermons to this day. He would always end his sermons with The Lord Bless Thee and Keep thee: The Lord make His face shine upon...

Bro. Bob was my pastor for several years while I lived in Waco. I am so grateful for his discipleship and his impact on my life!

Bob was a fine true friend!. He loved Jesus and his family. Condolences to his family. Love.

Brother Bob and Joan had a significant impact on my life, as members of Trinity church, but also as they were like pseudo grandparents (long before they had their own grandkids) to me growing up. Brother Bob never wasted a moment to share Jesus with everyone he met. I remember when I was about 8 (1983) they had taken me to TCBY yogurt after church and Brother Bob prayed over the young lady behind the counter. I remember asking Joan what he was doing and she explained what being saved...

One of the finest gentlemen I have ever had the privilege to know and a pretty good bridge player. He will be missed by many

Brother Bob and Joan were profound influences in our lives at Trinity Church. Even after moving from Waco to Fort Worth and later, retiring to the Sacramento Mountains in New Mexico, we continued to stay in touch with them and immensely enjoyed their visit to us here in the mountains. Knowing that their lives were hid in Christ, we rejoice in the knowledge that they are now in the very real Presence of The Lord Himself and with all other Believers who have gone into Eternity before us -- just...

Brother Bob was our family preacher from the time I was a baby until 1986. He baptized me and was a great mentor to me through my years. He was such a great man and the Holy Spirit was a light that burned bright in him. He was always there to listen and not criticize or judge. I was fortunate enough to come to Waco with my father and brother a few months back and spend time with Bob. We spent hours together and remainanced telling stories and having lunch. I am so blessed to have had Bob as...

I could write a book on how much Bro Bob meant to our family. Our time at Trinity Church was life changing for us. My children grew up in that church. We were once youth pastors there. He was always kind and encouraging. We loved him dearly.
