Phillip and family,
How wonderful that you have had your dad all these years and while the parting is never easy, I know you have many wonderful memories that will last forever. I love that sweet picture of your dad. I think it must speak volumes. I know he had to be so very proud of you and I can understand why he would be because you bless so many lives. Love you all.

What an awesome man of God! He’s right where he’s wanted to be for a very long time, safe in the arms of Jesus. Pepau Warren has left a rich legacy of his faith and beliefs within his children, and his childrens’ children, and their children and anyone who knew him. He’s lived long enough to see the fruits of his labor come to fruition and now he’s home with his Heavenly Father. To know this man was a testimony within itself and I am truly honored to have been able to know Robert ‘Pepau’ Warren.

Bro Leslie and Sis Pat, Beverly and Emily and families,
I learned of Mr.Warren’s passing on Facebook through Beverly and I wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. I know how you feel as I have lost both my parents now. You know they are pain free and in glory with Jesus, but it hurts to let go at the same time. I pray that God will wrap his loving, comforting arms around all of you and help you all during this time. I wish I could be there in person, but my prayers are with all of you and Beverly and Emily both have my phone number if you all need anything.
In Christian Love,
Dawn

My heart can only rejoice for I know that if ever there was anyone who loved God, it was Mr. Robert. A good Christian man, a good husband who cherished his wife & a father who loved his children and grandchildren. While we may grieve his passing from this life, I know that all of you will be comforted by the fact that his spirit is in Heaven now. I send my love & prayers to you all. And tho I can not be with you in person, I will be there in my heart.

My heart goes out to all of you. I know the “chair” will be empty and no matter what we try to do it will never be the same. But, it is just the beginning for Uncle Robert and his burden (if there were any) is no more. I cannot think of your home without seeing Uncle Robert there. I cannot think of any time I visited when he was not there. I cannot remember him saying anything hurtful about anyone. I will keep all of you in my prayers and close in my heart.
Love,
Kathy
