GRANDPA ROBERTS, "THE OLD MAN ROBERTS FROM ANNABELLE"
PEACEFULLY PASSED AWAY ON WEDNESDAY EVENING AT GRAMMA MEANIES HOUSE. HE LET US KNOW THREE DAYS EARLIER THAT HE WAS READY TO GO HOME
TO HIS HEAVENLY FATHER AND TO SEE HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE LEVA, WHO HAD PASSED AWAY 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVE TO ADMIT, I WAS THINKING IN MY HEAD..."POOR GRANDPA, HE THINKS HE IS READY TO PASS ON BUT HE IS STILL SO FULL OF LIFE"..... HE WAS CHATTING OUR EARS OFF AND BEARING HIS TESTIMONY TO US AND AS YOU CAN SEE ABOVE....PLAYING COPS WITH KADE AND MEKENZIE.
HE WAS ACTUALLY A RETIRED MURRAY POLICE OFFICER. THE LAST OF HIS FELLOW MURRAY POLICE RETIREE FRIENDS! WE WILL CHERISH THIS PICTURE FOREVER!
"5 CHILDREN, 19 GRANDCHILDREN AND 40 GREAT GRAND CHILDREN", HE BOASTED.
HE SAID HE WAS ALL DONE WITH THIS JOURNEY AND READY FOR THE NEXT.
HE WILL BE LOVED AND MISSED BY SO MANY! ESPECIALLY HIS COLORFUL TESTIMONIES THAT HE WOULD SHARE AT EACH BABY BLESSING! I, FOR ONE, WILL BE BORED SILLY AT ANY FUTURE FAMILY BABY BLESSINGS WITHOUT THE ANTICIPATION OF WHEN GRANDPA WOULD HEAD UP THE ISLE OF THE CHAPEL HOLLERING " I'M THE OLD MAN ROBERTS FROM ANNABELLE!", BEFORE SHARING OLD POLICE STORIESWITH THE CONGREGATION! HE DID ALWAYS BRING IT ALL BACK TO THE PLAN OF SALVATION AND MADE SURE TO MENTION HOW PROUD HE WAS OF HIS FAMILY!
WELL GRANDPA WE ARE PROUD TO BE YOUR KIN!
