This last most naturally weighs heavily on our hearts because of the human ties which are now broken. However, when we focus on his life, we are extremely pleased with Gods selection of this family. A Time To Be Born Robert Jenkins Jr. was born on February 15, 1956 in Claxton, Georgia to the late Robert Jenkins Sr. and Jessie Mae Warren Jenkins. Robert Jenkins Sr. preceded him in death. A Time To Grow And Be Educated Robert grew up in Claxton and Daisy Georgia. During that time he shared his love and happiness with all that knew him. He attended Claxton High School and was a part of the first black family to integrate the public school system in Evans County. He was a member of the football and basketball team. A Time To Worship As a young child Robert was baptized and became a member of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Solomon. In his younger days he was a member of the choir.

Bubba I am going to miss you Son I find peace in knowing that your Suffering is over and God has his arms around you. Son I love you and Ill meet you there Love, Mother To Our Brother Bubba, since we were all children, we have been through thick and thin Until this day we cannot believe your life came to an end. Throughout the future we will miss you - we will keep you in our hearts That is what we will do Even though you are not here - you will always be our brother We love you so much because there is no other Love you Bubba Betty, Christine, Carolinda, Warnell, Amy The angel gathered near your bed So very close to you For they knew the pain and suffering That you were going through. But your eyes were looking homeward To that place beyond the sky. Where Jesus held his outstretched arms It was time to say Good-bye. I struggled with my selfish thoughts For I wanted you to stay So we could talk again Like we did - just the other day. God looked around His garden, and He found an empty space. He then looked down upon Earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. Gods garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well here on Earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered Peace be thine. It broke our hearts to loose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. Love you Daddy Kendria Love you Papa LaKedria, Devin, Devon, Adrienne But Jesus knew the answer And I knew He loved you so So I gave to you lifes greatest gift The gift of letting go. Love you Daddy, Yolonda
