Bobby, ( I remember when you said it was ok to call you this ?) you were always there for me and I will remember you fondly for that. Thank you for being a mighty prayer warrior and "seeing" things that I couldn't at the time. I know I will officially meet you when I return when Jesus calls me "home". With lots of love and a "big fat hug"...Trisha
