We are sad to hear about Bob's passing, but we are rejoicing that we will see him again one day! It will not be the same to visit the church and not see his smile! We love you, Marelene! May God wrap his arms around you and your family and give you peace and comfort! Wish we were there to give you a big hug, but we do send our love and prayers!
All men have heroes whom they look up to and want to be like. Mine was always my dad. He was every superhero, gunslinger, and knight in shining armor all rolled into one. I can only hope that I can be half the man he was. I love you dad. I love you mom too. Robby (and Patti, Bryce and Justin)
Marelene – We have loved you and Robert so much and are so sorry that you have had to say good bye to him. I can not imagine how he is rejoicing in heaven now with his Heavenly Father. He was such a Godly man. I know that this week he received his pat on the back and "well done good and faithful servant". Tim looked forward to Robert's phone calls since we have moved to check in and see how things are going. He will miss those visits! We love you Marelene and will be praying for you in the days, weeks and months to come.
We are so sorry for your loss. We have a wealth of memories of our familys at the lake., of the pontilac Robert and you were so proud of. Down thru the years we have thought and talked about the summer Robert had the bad back and went skiing with his brace on and by the end of summer he was skiing without his brace. Oh how he enjoyed being on those skis. Don't forget us and we sure won't forget you.
Dear Friends, We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Robert. We have been gone for awhile, but will always remember your kindness to us and our girls during our years at Lewisville. We pray God's arms of comfort will surround you and hold you close during these days. Isn't it good to know this is not "goodbye" only "so long for now".
Who would have thought that a week ago last Thursday when we waved bye it would be for the last time here on earth. You have had a long, hard journey and we are rejoicing for you that you have made it home and breathing God's pure air. Well done good and faithful servant. Mike and I will miss you so much. You were a quiet, sweet man but when you had something to say, people listened! We will see you again some day. Until then, I know you will be walking / running those streets of gold without any problem. We love you dear friend!!!
I was only a year old when I met Bob and his beautiful family at Lewisville First Church of the Nazarene. 34 years later we say goodbye. A precious, quiet, gentle and loving man! A void is left here on earth, but Heaven is rejoicing at your homecoming! Until we meet again….
My memories of Bob & Marelene Driskell go way back to the 1950's at the Brookline Free Methodist Church in Oklahoma City, OK. It was there that they met and fell in love with each other. I was saddened to hear of Bob's death – but when I heard that he spoke the name of Jesus in his last remark, I rejoiced for him. Now may the Lord bless you, Marelene, and your family.
