Bobby Roberts and his family were long time members of Woodland United Methodist Church, as my family and I were. As soon as I read the news on the email about his passing, I had a vivid memory of seeing him cook about 200 hot dogs for a gathering in the social hall. Tall and lean and very much in control of the dogs and all the trimmings. And he was about 14. I was so surprised. I had never seen anyone but mothers in the church kitchen; of course I thought it neat. I was on the clean-up committee and when it was all over and Bobby was relaxing, I TRIED to talk him onto helping me. LOL. He deserved to relax by then. He had a sweet and quiet soul and will be missed. I know he is in Heaven. Love in Christ.
