Condolence From: Kathy and Larry Pollard
Condolence: Carolyn, our hearts are saddened by the news of Bobby's passing. I don't think he ever met a stranger and he had a way of making everyone feel special. I think he was always smiling. I know he will be smiling as he greets those who went on ahead. Our prayer is that God will hold you gently in His arms to comfort you in the coming days.
Much Love,
Kathy and Larry Pollard

Condolence: I will never forget growing up at Liberty Grove and seeing that smile of Bobby's! Like Ralph he was a wonderful beautiful example of a good man to me. He was a friend to all! He loved all! I am so sorry I cannot be there to see Ms. Carolyn and their families and give them hugs. I never ran into Bobby or Ralph when they did not have a bigger than life smile on their face. I am happy knowing he is with Jesus. Very few people impact someones life the way Bobby and Carolyn impacted so many lives! Please know as I care for my patients tommorow my prayers will be with you all! My parents C.M. and Polly Little and my sisters will have you in our thoughts and prayers! We love all of you so much! You as a family have been a huge blessing to me, mom, dad, and Stacy! When I was saved I remember mom, Ralph, Bobby to name a few thirty years ago this July. I lost one of my favorite patients today! She like Bobby was a saint in my book! So tonight I rejoice neither she nor Bobby will suffer again. God Bless You! Please let us know if we can do anything for you!

Condolence: I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Bob he was always such an inspiration to everybody. It was neat when I first found out there was a brother to my uncle Ralph and come to find out Bob was just as wonderful as Ralph. But I bet they are having a party up in heaven to reunite again. :) Much love and prayer to all the family especially Carolyn in this difficult time. Wish I could be there.
