Hi Britt; Marlyce and I read your Dad's obituary this morning; and, in reading, we just learned of your Mom's passing away back in September. We are sorry for your loss of both Bob and Crissy and regret only now learning about your Mom. Sometimes Clemmons seems miles and miles away from news in Welcome. You and Audrey, Bert and Libba; and, all your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Bob and Crissy were both special to us as we know they were to the Center UMC and Welcome communities. We will be praying for all of you this week and in the days to come. We will be praying for God's Peace and Comfort. Randy and Marlyce Vaughn

I was in Crissy's first 3rd grade class at Sedge Garden Elementary. I still rank her as one of the best teachers that I ever had. Bob came to have lunch with her once in a while. I thought they both were movie stars. Later in life, I discovered a connection with Doug Craver, who was a friend of my dad. It was very special to visit with the Wagners at their house. I also got to see them at many of the Center Church breakfasts. Both of your parents were amazing people. I'm so thankful that I knew them.

Bob and Crissy were our neighbors when I was a little girl. I’ll never forget his beautiful smile. They were two of the most loving, caring people that I’ve ever known. My heart goes out to Britt, Heather, Heidi, and your families. Hugs and prayers.

Britt, Heather and Heidi, and family, thank you for the opportunity to care for your loving and sweet parents. I loved them like my own and will miss them tremendously. They both were very sweet and loving and they loved you all so sweet. I know it’s so hard to take with both being gone but they are so much better off than we are here. They are together again and free of pain and illness. Much love and prayers for all the family. God bless you all.
