Toni, I too share some very fond memories of your dad. Perhaps I didn't spend as much time with him as others in the neighborhood but what sticks in my mind was his quiet spoken manor but very sincere. He gave me a feeling that I was not an insignificant member of 'the gang'. I am so happy that you had so many years with him. It is a comfort to know that he, Bobby and your mom are together once again and sharing so much joy by being in His presence together. You and all of your family were, and are, loved by so many. My prayer for you this day is that you will feel overwhelming joy and comfort as these many friends embrace you.

Ken and Toni. Ruth and I have your family in our prayers. I recall many great years .I think Mr Stephenson was about the coolest dad of any friend I ever had. I learned that even though our bodies get old and sick and then die there is no doubt that our spirits continue to live as part of Gods purpose.. best wishes to you and the entire family, Gary Baker

Thinking of you and your family.
Billy and Joelyn Shugart

Dear Toni, Some of my fondest memories are of our neighborhood and how close everyone was. I remember living next door to your family all those years and how nice your mom and dad always were. I remember working for your dad some when I was in high school. I remember those hot summer days hacking through the under brush helping him survey for the Howey Company. He was alway very nice to me and I learned from him. He is now with your mom and Bobby and with the Lord. Mine and Jan's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and we pray God will give you peace during this time.

With kindest reagrds,

Dear Toni,
Please know that mine and Carols thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember your your dad as always smiling, as a quiet man. I actually remember your dad taking Bobby and I to the Clover Dirt Track Races and my 1st and only World 600 in the early Sixties when we were next door neighbors. May GOD bless you and your family as you celebrate the life of a wonderful loving father.
Love,
Dickie & Carol

The Stephenson Family,
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.  I have so many special memories of he and Billy in the Oasis Patrol.   Sweet loving people!!!   May God Bless each of you.  With love

Pam and I send our love and encouragement. A man's legacy is reflected in the lives of his children and grandchildren. From my childhood I remember a quiet and responsible man with a gentle spirit. Toni, sweet spirit, you honor your dad today by who you are. We lift you up to our Lords comfort and knowledge of your dad's continuing life. Bobby, Billie, and he now rejoice together as new and healed people.

Dear Arthur, Toni, Kenneth and your sons,
I am so sorry to hear of Robert Earl's passing.  He was a good man.  I remember having some Christmas dinners with him and Billie and your family.  We always had fun.  Please know that you will all be in my prayers as you go through this most difficult time of grief.  I pray that you will feel the loving arms of God as He carries you all through the next days.
Blessings and peace to you all.
