Unlike so many of my cousins and family members I had privilege and much remembrance of knowing Uncle Bobby and I tell you not a moment was a bad one. From a small child Uncle Bobby and Aunt Georgia use to come down and visit and will always come by and see us (The Higgins). Uncle Bobby has always been the cheerful guy that make you laugh but yet talk to me with concern and care showing that he loved me as much as he loved his own kids. Looking back over my life Uncle Bobby was not only an Uncle but he was a Father, a Mentor, and someone that I can call and talk to in the time of need. Uncle Bobby I am truly going to miss you but I have released you back to God in my heart and soul and I know you are going home to join so many that has gone to Heaven and I look forward to seeing you in that great kingdom someday.(PS I don't know how God is going to handle you and Poodie). Aunt Georgia, cousin Mike and Jackie there are so many things that I can say but usually I don't go there unless I have walked in those shoes and as you know I lost so many at a young age and I can say to you(BUT GOD) and only God can see you through such times and in the words of the Late Great Carl Ellis You will understand it better by and by because the shoes you walk in now is some big shoes and remember(BUT GOD)will see you through. I Love you always and know that although I am not there and we may not see one another often you are always in my heart and that is what keep me going and has brung me through so many hard times (The Love of Family).

Dear Aunt Georgia:
There's not much that I know about you and your family. However, the little I have known, means so much to me and my family. "I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love". Oh Aunt Georgia,remember this: "if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed forever remains:-)"
You, Jackie and Mike will continue to be in our prayers.
Julia, Ellis, Rosalyn and Kelvin Graham.

Dear Georgia, Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Although I didn't know Bob as well as I know you, he will still be missed as he was a part of your team. You and I never spoke without his mention.

If there is anything I can do, please put in a call. Even if you want to talk at 2:00 in the morning, just call me. Please say hello to Jacke and Mike. Sincerely, Liz
