Mr RC, We were sad to hear of Mr Robs passing. I can remember a about a year ago he was still driving to church on Sunday morning and I was amazed to see how well he would get around for his age. I also remember as a child my mom & dad trading @ RC Soles company and how he accomodated them in any way he could to help them purchase the merchandise they needed . I am sure many trophies await him in heaven for the good he did on earth in his helping ohers.

Dear R.C. and Darcus,

I have, in years past, enjoyed a number of visits with your Daddy, and I am sure he never missed expressing how proud he was of the two of you.

Fortunately you had him, and your mother, for many years. I am sure they were both the source of many guiding conversations for you both.

I am sure he has told you not to worry about his departure from this world, and to know that he is now in a better place.

Sincerely,
Graves Lewis
