Bobby Earl Sparks - Online Memorial Website

My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures
          
  John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
 
 
This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth.

It has been almost two months since we lost some one we love in the case it was (my papaw).Just because it has been almost two months doesnt mean its getting easier. I am trying to stay strong for my family but mostly trying to stay strong for my papaw.Well my mom to she is still takeing it pretty hard.But do you blame her? My papaw was a very loved man. He would take his shirt of his back if he thought you needed it. He loved god very much everytime i would go and see him he would tell me about how church was that week.And when he passed he got his wish all of his kids and grandkids in church and He got it.To bad he wasnt here to see it but  know her was looking down from heaven watching everyone of us in that chruch and i bet he was really happy.Please keep this family in your prayers we really need it right now.Thank you so much Renee Sparks♥.PS.I LOVE YOU PAPAW(ILL SEE YOU AGAIN ONE DAY)
