I don't know if my message went through sucessfully. I'm very sorry for your loss. I've met Helen and Bobbye several years ago at your mother's house. She would accompany me to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and on one occasion to an Circuit Assembly held at Robinson Auditorium. We had good times together reviewing the wonderful truths found in the Bible. (Micah 4:4; Psalms 37:9-11). I pray that your family find comfort in the words of John 5:28,29. Love, Dee Brown

I want to express my sympathies for your family. I've met Bobbye and Helen years ago at their mother's home here in Little Rock. I used to visit regularly. Iber and I would review the wonderful truths found in the Bible. On occasion, she would accompany me to the Kingdom Hall and once to a Circuit Assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses at Robinson Auditorium. I have a picture of her then which I will cherish even more so now. I enjoyed getting to know her. It was good to hear her reminisce about the 'old days'. She looked forward to Jehovah's promise of an earthly Paradise where there would be no more fear but peace and unity. (Micah 4:4; Psalms 37:9-11). I'm sorry for your loss. I wish I could have been present at the Memorial Service. I've kept you in my prayers. Please keep in mind the marvelous promise found at John 5:28,29.
