I was so sad to hear about Bobbie. It was always such a pleasure and comfort to see her when I attended a funeral at Roller Chenal. She will be missed.
Also, it has been enjoyable and rewarding to know/teach Lawrence and Ron in first grade and watch them grow into fine grown men!

My heart is aching over the loss of Bobbie. We went to West Side Junior High school together and then to Little Rock High School and had remained friends over these many years. Bobbie was a wonderful person and she will be missed by her family and all those who loved her, including me. Warren, you and your family have my sincere sympathy and are in my prayers.

Are prayers for your family
So sorry to hear of Bobbie's death.. I have known her since way back in the early 50's at Little Rock High school. She was a truly lovely person.
Our prayers are with you and your family.
Miss Bobbie shared her experience with me as I started my work at Roller. She showed me grace and hospitality. I am thankful to have known her. To her family: my heart hurts with you. Know how much she loved you and talked about you all with such joy!
So so sorry to hear of Mrs. McElroy's death, she was such a sweet sweet lady. We used to go to church with her at Antioch while I was growing up. When my Dad passed away two years ago and then my Mom this past October, we used Roller Chenel for both and was blessed by her being there, she knew my parents well and was so sweet and helpful to us. I know it's hard but may you find peace knowing she is in a much better place.
Bro. Warren, Lawrence and Ron, we were saddened to hear of Bobbie's passing. What a great lady whose life was infectious. A friend to all and a model of what Christian ladies should be. I know she will be missed but God just added another rose to his eternal bouquet. You all are in our prayers. May God pour out His matchless grace on you all during your moments of sadness.
