Bob and Elinor were instrumental in bringing me to a fuller and more profound knowledge of Christ in my life, teaching me the depths of Christian faith. Elinor answered my questions with " get in the Word", until I finally got what her deeper meanings were. Bob brought the Bible to life and laid my foundations with his excellent teaching skills. We met in a school, which was a new thing for me. Those days are a beautiful memory of people who truly loved the Lord and I would love to see all their faces again...and, in time, I will!

Bob was my dear friend and mentor as he served and walked with the Lord Jesus Christ. From early days of the Youth Ranch and Sandy Springs Community Church. He and Elinor prayed for and encouraged me and my family to trust "The Touch of the Master“s Hand," and to follow our loving Lord who "Leads His dear Children Along!"
We will rejoice together soon- in the Heavenly Home!
Sincere sympathy and love to Branan and Lee and families,

Bob and Elinor were very important to my wife, Bobbie Kollen Boggess. Bob married Bobbie and me in 1977. Bob and Elinor supported us while we were missionaries in France. They were always very encouraging and full of love and wisdom. May God console their boys and families!

Pastor Becknell and his wonderful wife Elinor were amazing people who gave their lives fully to the Lord. They always gave wonderful, Christ-centered advice. Both Karl and I will miss. We send our love to Branan, Lee and their families. I wish I could come to Pastor's Memorial Service. I look forward to seeing both of them again. God bless! Lela Griffin Lofgren, Rochester, MN
