I knew Sheila best from our working together at Paragon at Ogburn Station. She really loved her grandfather, Ralph Phillips, who had served as pastor of Woodland Baptist before my family started going there. That gave us automatic talking points. Sheila was full of personality and opinion. We lost contact. But, my life has been enriched by my having known and worked with her.
I hope that this was a blessed birthday for you, my friend!>
Benny came to East as we Union Cross brats were being dismissed to Parkland. So, we met after high school. I was privileged to record in his studio twice in the late 1990s. Benny and I were finishing an eight-CD retrospective of the ministries with which the Lord has involved me through 67 years. We were seeking a graphics artist, since the one whom Benny had always used passed away unexpectedly during the summer. I noticed that Benny was not responding to my texts. Then, I received a call from his best friend, informing me of his passing. I had seen him only a week or two earlier; and, now, he was already gone. He had seemed to be the picture of health. I hate that I missed the very last events. But, I had the very special blessing of working with Benny on several of his final projects on this side of Heaven. I miss my dear friend, and empathize with Michele in her temporary emptiness. I'm glad, because of Benny's faith, that it is temporary.
Kind, friendly, an all-around nice guy! That's what I always thought of Robert. Having been at East for only one year, I didn't get to know him as I might have liked. I saw and read his obituary before I saw it posted on this site. So sad! I hope to see him again some day, where we can make up for lost time in a most profitable way. Family, if I may be of any comfort at any time, please don't hesitate to contact me! Take comfort from the Scriptures. On those Words you can count, above all else.
