I am brokenhearted to discover about Tabor's passing. I have been a substitute teacher for many years. I enjoyed getting to know him over the years. I was happy to run into him at Crackle Barrel. years later. I remember a history presentation he did,that captivated the class. He was very talented. I am so sorry for everyone's loss. RIP, I am grateful to have known you.

Hello Mark my dear friend. Chuck informed me of the death of your precious Tabor. What an awesome young man you and Beth raised and loved. I am so sorry you are experiencing pain from what the Bible tells us is our enemy. 1st CORINTHIANS 15:26 tells us: “The last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.â€â€‹ The same promise is also made at Revelation 21:4 where our creator assures us; “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away.†These promises are from a God who cannot lie. I hope they comfort you and your family. All of you are in my prayers. Your decades long AETN, PBS Arkansas coworker, Earl Robinson.
