Sorry I'm so late but just found out about your Dad's passing. He was a wonderful person. Although we hadn't talked in about 8-10 years, I deeply feel his loss. His mother Jewell and my mother Opal (d. 1943) were sisters.

Robert Ernest is my first cousin, son of my Aunt Jewel. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, I knew his mother well. I have heard many, many positive things about him from my sister, Lee Gallery. My condolences go out to his family and friends. This world was blessed to have him here for a while and now his eternal life is experiencing his reward. He is in heaven with his mother, father, family and friends who have departed in days gone by. God bless and keep you all. Love, Cousin Omega (Meg) Hamby-Guffey from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
