Actually he was more than a man. He was a friend and he was a mentor. His name was Bob Harber of Madison, Alabama. He was a long time member and Elder at the Gooche Lane Church of Christ in Madison. Bob lost his fight with Cancer at age 78. I will not attempt to eulogize Bob. His Family did a much better job of that today than I ever could. In the end the Cancer had ravaged his earthly body to where he was not the same man as his Air Force pictures showed. It was there where he was given the Bronze Star for bravery during the War. That gives you just a small glimpse into his character and life. Even though his body was not the same, I know that his Spirit was still strong for he knew that a new body was awaiting him by the Lord. That thought is what gave peace to all that knew Brother Bob and came together today to remember him.
The last joy that he left us all with, is we can say with confidence, that if we live our lives as he did, Christlike, we too will have a new body and we will too hear the words of our Father say "Well done good and faithful servant. Enter into the joys of thy Lord"
