Mobley’s, My deepest sympathy for the loss of Opa. All of my kids have such wonderful memories of him while they were at your house. He was an excellent example of Christian father, Grandfather and leader. I know all of you have found comfort knowing that he is with his Lord. God Bless
Very sorry to learn of your father’s passing. He was a fine gentleman and a great storyteller! May God grant you the comfort you will need in the days to come.
Wishing your family my sympathy in this time of sorrow for you. You are a strong family and I know that you will make it through this very tough time.
