Well I miss my grandad he planned to come to everyone of me and my brother Dylans baseball games (and I know I was his favorite grandkid).

I just heard of Bobby's passing. It is difficult to fathom and though i haven't seen any of you in some time, I will miss him. He was so sweet, as a friend said, always upbeat and happy.

Lana,Kristie,& Leigh Ellen,

We are so sorry to hear about Bob. We have fond memories of early days at Ridgecrest with your family. You all are in our prayers.

Dear Billy:

While I have not seen you or Bobby since our days at McElwain, I have thought of the two of you hundreds of times over the years at I have travelled and worked around the world.

I was so very sorry to read that Bobby had passed away. I am sitting on my porch at this moment, thanking God for all the good things I remember about Bobby while we played and contested in that pasture that was called a playground 50 years ago, under the scrutiny of Mrs. Douglas and Mrs. Satterwhite, as we made every effort to avoid a visit to Mr. Ivy's office.

I know that the Peace of God is with you at this moment and that Bobby is forever in that Peace.  And until we are all back together, in another pasture we call a playground, may that same Peace be with you and your family.

My Dear Friends Martha, Billy & Bobby's Children and Grandchildren. I remember the first time that I met Billy & Bobby. I had just moved home from college, my mother took me next door to meet the neighbors. Martha invited me to go to the fair with the boys. We had such a great time. I remember Bobby being the quieter and more bashful of the twins. Martha took me under her wing like a daughter and Billy and Bobby were like my brothers. I will always hold the fond memories and friendship bestowed upon me close to my heart and am honored to have know Bobby. May God help you through this time of sorrow and lay His healing hand upon your hearts. With all my love and affection. Charlotte Grantham Goodman
