Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. It was an honor to serve the Lord with Bob at SRW.
    Bob always cared, always made time for others, always put the Lord and His ways and requirements first and his family and friends next.
    Because of his close personal relationship with the Lord, Bob knew just when to call, just what to say and many people have healed from loss because of Bob. Can’t imagine life without him after he crosses your path. He will always have a place in the heart. It is certain he will always care.
    May memories of Bob’s caring ways and God’s love comfort you and increase your blessings.
    He leaves a legacy to his family and especially to his grandchildren to learn from and to live by. May you all always do so.
    In Christ’s Love – you are all in my prayers.
