Bob, Dana, Mark, and Nancy. Words will never be known of the sorrow wefelt at the news. I do apreciate you letting me know and we send our love to you all. Bob, you know how much we love you and Becky. We spent a lot of good years with you. Lots of good memories. I don't regret any of the times we were together. I will always cherish the book we made together. "Rubies" has been a great witness to a lot of ladies and I give Becky credit for getting "her" off on the right foot. I am so glad I got to speak with her the week before she left, but am real sorry I didn't get to see her one more time. We looked for you the last time we were on the coast but didn't know all the circumstances so did'nt know where to look. We are so sorry. Please keep in touch with us and come see us or send us your address and maybe we can get to you. Nancy, please give us your and Dana's address. E-mail and snail mail. Thanks for all the memories. We love you. Frank and Barbara Doyle. p.o. box 251 Lincolnton, GA 30817

Bob, Mark, Dana & Nancy,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember growing up together and attending HBC until we all went our separate ways. We were neighbors for a long time and whenever I visited my Mom, Becky and Bob would smile, wave and ask how I was doing. May God bless you and comfort you during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

Dear Mr. Bob,
We are very sorry for your loss. We did not know you or Mrs. Becky very well but always got a very sweet smile from her at church. May God comfort you greatly during this time. I am quite positive that Mrs. Beckys sweet smile is now brighter than it has ever been. Sincerely, Chris and Brandie Dickerson
