My heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Roberson. Though I didn't really know him, I do remember the day Mr. Roberson went fishing in Ingleside with Willie Martin, my dad and myself. What a fun day that was, out there in the rain trying to catch some fish. Rest well, and may the family find peace and comfort in the arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Mrs. Helen and your family. My sincerest condolences goes out to you and your family.For the short time that I've known Henry, I really appreciate you sharing your belove husband with the Gospel choir of Olive Grove. He was one of the nicest and most caring person I have ever known. He will be miss very much, especially when we were in the choir stand and him crossing across us in the back row stepping on our toes. May God continue to Bless and keep you and your family in this time of need...God Bless Gracie Britt and Family.

Helen and Family,

We are deeply saddened for the loss of your loved one. Henry was such an inspiration to many. His generous spirit and grand smile lit up the room where ever he occupied. I know the Olive Grove Baptist Church family will miss him dearly, but I am so glad his memory will live forever and ever. You are in our thoughts and prayers. If we can do anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Lovingly yours,
Anita Miranda and Family
