I am very sorry for your loss. Bobby and I are praying for the family. I remember him preaching. I loved to hear him preach and singing " Serving the Lord will pay off after while....". I'm sorry I'm not able to be there for the homegoing. I have to work that day. Bobby said they had a music group growing up. He will be missed.
