I am praying for you all. Bob is with his LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST now, and enjoying all the beauty and splendor of Heaven.
Bob was a wonderful Christian who loved the LORD, and loved to sing for the LORD. I enjoyed singing in the choir with Bob. He had that deep voice that harmonized so well. May GOD comfort and surround you all with His loving care. 🙏✝️
