Barb,
It seems like just yesterday my husband and I saw you and Robert at Wal-Mart. And as I explained to my husband your story and your love for one another, I hope to share that kind of love. You never gave up even when the going got tough. May you know the comfort of the Lord's loving arms around you now and in the future when it seems there is no hope.

Robert and I graduated from Parkers Chapel in 1956. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. I think he moved to Parkers Chapel when he was in the 4th grade. We had been friends a long time. May God be with you during this sad time.

Barb ~ Ruth & I were saddened by the news of Robert's passing. I know he loved teaching his Sunday School class. I appreciated his patience when he took me fishing and I constantly got his line tangled up in the reel! I also enjoyed getting to know him and you better on my first ESBC mission trip to Brazil. We'll be praying for you in the upcoming days.
