Tammy, So sorry to hear about your Dad. I have such fond memories of him out at the farm with the horses, counting cows, and crawling under your Moms quilting frame. I will cherish those memories forever!! I know he will be missed by all that knew him. Find comfort that he is with the Lord now and also with Ronnie. Prayers for healing for you and your family. My favorite bible verse that has gotten me through many tough times is John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid. Prayers lifted up for you and your family. Love you Tammy!

I cried when I heard about Bobby. I loved him so much. One of my greatest joys was serving as his and Gail’s pastor. Bobby encouraged me and supported me. When our son died, Bobby said, “God will bring good things into your life again.” He was speaking from experience and he was right. I have had numerous opportunities to share that faith with others. I am so thankful God brought Bobby and his wonderful wife, Gail, into my life. Oh yes, Bobby taught me if you take a cholesterol pill you can eat all of the fried catfish you want. He lived out that faith. He always smiled and made me happy to be around him.
