My Uncle Bobby was a truly wonderful man. He loved his family unconditionally and strove to be the best that he could possibly be. I wish that he was still here to lead the next generation of family. He never got to see his great nieces and nephews and he never got to see the achievement of his seven nieces that would Left Behind when he left. May his memory continue to bless others and as you all go out to serve your community may the love of God be with you. Thank you for all of your services and continue to walk by faith and not by sight. Sincerely,
Renee Reynolds

Uncle Bobby you are forever miss by all seven of your nieces. Though I was only seven when you died I still cherish your memory especially of you taking us to Sunday school and church, holding me on your lap and being there to help mommy after daddy died. We will always love and miss you, but we will be with you in glory. Love Teal

Godspeed Officer Reynolds


The Final Inspection

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"
