Sorrow, And Life Events Intermingle

The last couple of weeks have been a tangle of sorrow, work and even a little fun.  Truly a time to test what we are made of, and Who we can trust and rely upon to get us through.
Friday, the 6th we unexpectedly received word that Bob's son, Robert Lawayne had been found dead in his apartment in Enid.  When he did not return to work on Friday after being on vacation for a week, his work place had someone at his apartment complex check on him, and it was found that he had passed away. Bob was in Enid that morning on a MAGB run when he received the shocking call. The cause at this time is unknown, possibly heart attack or stroke. We will know more when toxicology tests are revealed  Lawayne was a gentle, quiet man, had never been married and lived alone. He worked as a checker at Lowes for many years, and all who knew him and worked with him described him as a kind, very helpful person. One of his co-workers when informed immediately broke into tears not able to believe it. Lawayne will leave a hole in our lives that we haven't even yet begun to realize as we go on here without him. We are sorrowful and missing him, yet at the same time so happy for him living in the Presence of the One who makes all things new! Lawayne has no more cares, worries, or pain, and he is now perfect in the Presence of his Savior! Pray for us who grieve as we go on without him.
Robert Lawayne
