I was so saddened to hear to hear this young mans untimely death. My heart and prayers have been and will continue to be with the entire family. I am so sorry.
He is free: John 14 “Let not your heart be troubled. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.

Bobby was and is a child of the King and He took Bobby to his mansion early in the morning Thursday. I know his Grandma Burchfield is united with joy with her precious grandson’s arrival into the Kingdom. Please forgive me and see Salisbury Post for updated obituary as I could not think of her name at the time. My body and mind are in severe shock, but it came to me and I was able to include her in the Salisbury listing, as well as think of Lucia. She is also there as family. Losing a child is the most difficult thing in this world, except losing your mother and I hope that I never, ever, have to suffer that pain. Please continue to pray for our family.

My heart hurts for the Safrit family…Deepest and sincere condolences from my family to yours! I wasn’t personally close to Bobby, however, my brother was and it has been hard for him to accept this tragic loss as I’m sure it’s much harder for the Safrit family. What I always knew about Bobby was that he had a good heart…that is a rare treasure these days. I will be praying for peace and comfort that only God can give during this hard time. I pray that the Lord brings the Safrit family closer than ever and may you all find comfort in Bobby’s memory.

My heart brakes for your family. I haven’t seen you for years, but remember Bobby when he was a little boy. I know the pain and sorrow of losing a loved one, but not a child. I can not imagine the kind of agony. My prayers are with you all as the Lord covers you all with His loving grace.
