While I did not know Bobby, I know many of his siblings and I knew his parents. This family meant so much to the town of Alexandria and to me personally. I am thankful God led them to Alexandria and to the church I attended. I'm sure Bobby was as kind and nice as all of the family members I knew. I am sure his parents raised him in the same manner. I am sure it was a challenge to raise this large family but the Ferrells did it well. I pray God's blessings upon each member of the Ferrell family and also to Bobby's immediate family. May God's love, peace, and mercy surround them in the days to come. In Christ, Nancy Lewis
