Guestbook - sign the guestbook

What a devout Christian Homer has been.
Mornings when I would drive by his house in
good weather he was sitting on the porch reading the Bible.
My last visit to see the two of them, they got out the guitar and sang me a song..I will long remember that.
I have established a memorial to Homer with his life history,pictures and two
Scriptures.

'To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord'.
and it's true And remember Betty's research' of the Robertson family can be found at the Brown County hIstorical Society.
Praying for comfort by the Holy Spirit for
all the family members.

Jim Landrum and family
