Today Jeremy's grandma, Betty Bobo, went home to be with the Lord. She lived for 82 years, and has left quite a legacy behind.When I first married into this family I was blown away. The Bobos have 5 children, all of whom know the Lord. They have been blessed with 13 grandchildren (if I counted correctly) and numerous great-grandkids. What makes this so amazing is that the family actually gets along and reunites twice a year on Labor Day and near Christmas. Never once have I seen an argument take place at one of these gatherings. Pictured above is a photo taken Labor Day 2009. This is what can happen after 63 years of Christian marriage. This is my dream. Thank you, Betty, for showing me that it is possible.
She was loved and will be missed by many. I will miss her contagious little laugh. I picture her now in the Lord's presence in her new heavenly body, experiencing a joy beyond description, about to receive her reward. She may not be able to read my blog posts anymore, but one day I will see her again and be able to fill her in on the rest of my story...

My prayers and condolences to you and your family. Your tribute to Betty is beautiful. It is clear that her decision to live her days here as a living sacrifice to God has born more fruit than she could imagine. Rejoicing that she is home with her Lord, even while I pray for your family and the loss you will all feel. May her love and God's impact in her life be felt for generations to come. Praying...
Thanks Jeanette, for the wonderful tribute to my wife, Betty. We've both enjoyed your writings and look forward for each new one. God bless you and your beautiful family. And that husband of yours (my Grandson) is something else. That song he sang today at Betty's service was beautiful.She has always liked that song. Love, Jud
