When I think of Uncle Bob I remember an even tempered, good humored person. He was always kind to me and made me feel welcome and safe in his home.
I miss my family and being able to reach out to oneanother. God Bless You.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Slone. I always enjoyed seeing and speaking with him at church. He was a dear, precious man. May God comfort you with the peace only He can provide during this time and for the days to come.
