My heart is sadden by his passing I extend my condolences to the family I enjoyed our talks in Sunday school class and in the sanctuary my prayers are with the family he made a special place in my heart when I started church there I will miss him greatly
I am so sorry to learn of the death of Bobby. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to spend some time with him recently. It was a joy reminiscing with him about the “old Union Hope” we knew as youngsters. My wife and I will be thinking of the family in the days ahead as you make the adjustment to life without Bobby.

My sincerest sympathy to your entire family. Grandpa Bobby was a light that truly shined bright. So thankful we have the hope of Jesus Christ who will gather us all at His coming. This is a sad but temporary separation that will end with great rejoicing at the return of our Lord. Our deepest sympathy meanwhile.
