Me and Robby 4-11

”Our Marine, Robert William Rawlins, "Robby," went home to be with Jesus today,

May 21, 2011.”

Broken Hearts 

Words cannot express the sadness I feel for my friend Gracie for the loss of her grandson.

2 Timothy 4:7,8

7) I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

8) Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

That was a VERY nice thing to do and I'm sure that Gracie will appreciate more than words can say.

I didn't know. I will go right over there. Thanks for letting us know and honoring him in such a special way.

And I came here to say, as I always do....thank you for your service to our country.
