Jocelyn Tupper Superior, NE April 16, 2015
"I am so sorry to hear of Bob's death. He was a joy to know, pleasant, upbeat - and never missed a chance to let me know he had a woman pastor before - a 'very good' woman pastor!
I am blessed to have know Bob.
My condolences, Lorene, may you God's grace cover you in the immediacy of all that must be done and in all the days to come.
With love and appreciation, Jocelyn Tupper"
