Our hearts go out to you and your family, Anne, in your loss. We taught together at Bell's Hill in Waco, from 1971-72. Bob married us at my parent's home in Waco on June 3, 1972. We think of you often, especially on our anniversary.
We wanted to send you a card after we saw in the Baylor Mag. this month, but had no address.

My mom, Mary Green Parker worked at Ridgecrest Baptist Assembly with Bob and Ann, and they have visited in our home in Florida. She would love to connect with Ann again and send her a card. My dad, Jim, passed away in 2015. We are so sorry for your loss. Jan HInson

While in language school in 1965, I went with Bob to the post office to get a key change on the postal box. Someone had left a key in the box. They would not allow the change since the box had been rented in Charles Bryan's name. This is spite of Bob's excellent Cuban Spanish. We went back to his house where he typed up an official-looking document on legal size paper and added seals with red ribbons that Linda had won at a Bible Memory Association. Back to the post office we went.The postal official took one quick look at the most official-looking document, stamped it approved and we got our new lock on the box. Bob had a way of expediting matters. Wonderful family, great missionaries and exceptional friends. Bob will be always remembered and sorely missed. Barbara and Doyle Bailey
