Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Let the Lord be your strength during this time of sorrow. I will always have fond memories of our times together in school. Love, Janie House
Pam and the family, My condolences to the family . Robbie and I never met in person but we talked on the phone enough as if we saw each other every day. He was always fun to talk with, after the business part was done then we moved to golf and fishing. I regret today not making the effort to come down and play a few rounds with him back in the earlier days. May the good memories live on forever !!! take care Ted Wheeler
Pam, Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot Heal! Our Sincere Condolences and Prayers are with you and The Family!
I am sorry to hear about the death of Mr. Batts. Death of a love one is a difficult thing to bear. Thankfully, we can look forward to the resurrection. We will be able to see and hug our love ones again and death will be gone forever. Stated at Acts 2415, there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. Praying the for the family and many blessings to come.
