    Oh Sweet Papa- How my heart aches . You were by far the best father in law a girl could ask for. You treated me with such love and kindness and I was so fortunate to have you in my life for 29 years. You called me your daughter and treated me as such. I will so miss our trips to the kids’ games and just seeing you out in the yard .. We shared mowing the grass responsibilities and I was always so grateful when I came home from a long day at work and noticed you had mowed our grass. There was never a time that I can remember when I called to ask for help picking the kids up from school ( often last minute)or taking them to practice that you ever said no. You were always there for me and Bobby. My family and others witnessed how your life changed once you became saved. I know you are with Jesus and what a wonderful Christmas that is for you . We will deeply miss you here but know we will meet again in heaven . We will take good care of Gigi! Love you always !! Your “daughter “. Ashley

    Oh sweet Papa- how my heart aches. You were by far the best father-in-law a girl could ask for and I am so blessed to have had you in my life for 29 years. You treated me with such love and kindness and called me your daughter. I am so going to miss traveling to the kids’s games together and just seeing you out in the yard chipping balls or on the mower. You gave selflessly of your time and you never said no when I asked you ( often last minute) to pick up the kids from school or take them to a practice. What would I have done without you and Gigi - I am not sure. Thank you for loving me , Bobby , Garett , Kaylee and Laney with all of your heart! I was able to see your life change once you were saved and I know for a fact that you are having the best Christmas ever- in the arms of Jesus. We will all take care of sweet Gigi ! Love you always and forever! Your “Daughter” Ashley

    Jean, I really didn't know Dwight. I heard you speak lovingly of him so many times over the years we worked in Consumer Credit. I remember quite well the death of your son, that Dwight has joined, being a believer in Jesus Christ, as his personal savior. Jean, I pray that you, Bobby and family will find peace in knowing others are praying for you at this sad, time in your lives. Send me your phone #, mine is 9106120057 Peggy Phillips Singleton bobb
