Dear Family,

We are sorry to read of Mr. Robertson's passing - and the nature of it. We enjoyed seeing him and Mrs. Robertson at Annual Conference in Shreveport when they were still able to go. Such a fine

Christian example and dedicated member of Bethany will be both missed and remembered for a long

time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our prayers are with you at this time. My memories of Arthur are full of his wonderful singing voice. The years I spent singing in Bethany's choir with him are some of the best in my life. I am truly sorry that I am so far away and can't be there to participate in a well deserved celebration of his life.

As one who has known both of you for more than 40 years, I know how big a loss he is not only to you, but his church, our NAACP family, indeed our community. Please know that we will remember you in our prayers, not only today but in the future. I'm confident that you will be alright because "He" lives.
