Robert fought the good fight. I am honored to have been part of his education and his friend. He always smiled and had beautiful cursive writing. His friendships with his classmates were sincere. We missed him and continue to do so. We spoke of his faith in God and his Church. Safe in the arms of Jesus. Heartfelt sympathies Evans family-you are loved. Praying for continued comfort and may you always feel the love of our Heavenly Father.

Mr. and Mrs. Evans,
Words cannot express the grief that you are feeling now, but hopefully the expressions of sympathy of family and friends will help to sustain you through this dark time.
As secretary of Bayou Lodge I want to add the expression of sympathy from our lodge. You are being remembered in the prayers of all of us.

Randall, Dee, and family,
My thoughts and prayers have been with you, especially the last few days, knowing what you were going through. I think it is wonderful that you want your “angel boy” to have a beautiful and special service so that people will know what a great and loving boy he was. I have prayed God will comfort you and wrap you in his loving arms through this time. I pray that all of the good memories you have of Robert will flood your mind in the future. May God keep you and bless you. ~vicki~
