Dear Helen:

Bobby was a wonderful father-in-law to me for the past 27 years. He was always lovingly supportive of my family and all that we did. Our family trips together will be a highlight to me... camping trips, ski vacations, Disney World, our 2 week trip to Switzerland, Germany, Austria, & Lichtenstein, and many more. Bobby was always there to help with encouragement, moving, & being there for our kids' activities. He never meddled and was just a great christian father-in-law. I have been blessed to be a part of his life and will miss him.

God bless you.

Max

Dear Helen,

Bobby's funeral couldn't have captured Bobby's humble and Godly character anymore than it did. Joe and I loved him and we love you. We lost a friend. It was such a honor to be there. Memories of him will always bring a smile to our face.

Helen:



What a blessing you and Bobby have been to our family. He lived a life in quiet humility before God. I personally was blessed not only by him in life but also in death. As a father, it was a joy to talk with my boys about the quality of humility and the strength that comes from silence. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family from the minute you met me. I love you and so does my family. See you soon.

Mother: I continue to be blessed by the wonderful things being said about Daddy. Of course, those things couldn't be said just about anyone! He was a very special man and it's no surprise that he was married to a very special woman. We continue to be blessed by you. May God give you strength in the upcoming days/months/years. I love you very much.

Grandaddy was such a blessing in my life, and I am going to miss him very much. I know that he is in a great place and is happier than ever before. I know that we all can't wait to be in Heaven with him some day. Grandmamma, I love you very much, and if you ever need ANYTHING, you better call me. I'm here for you!
