So much has happened since my last post. On June 9th, we were blessed to be at Sandusky United Methodist Church. It was the first time we had been there in 13 years and we're glad they had us back to sing for them. What a wonderful congregation. We want to send a special thanks to the member of their church that opened his restaurant just for us. The meal was wonderful! Then we were off to Hill Road Baptist for a concert which was part of a celebration to dedicate their new pavilion.

On Tuesday, June 9th my Dad passed away. I want to thank everyone who called and sent cards and flowers. It meant so much to me and my family. Friday, June 12th we had his homecoming celebration. At the close of the service, we had 16 people make a commitment to the Lord. What a legacy he leaves.

The next day we started recording our new project. We hope to have it done by Bayshore. On Saturday, June 27th we had the privilege of singing for Bob and Sandy Monroe's wedding reception. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful setting. We wrapped up the weekend with a concert at First General Baptist in Flint. We had three people come to the altar during that service.

We stand in awe of how God uses the ministry of the Royalheirs to touch people's hearts. We always want to be used for His glory and His honor.

Until next time,

Chuck

Chuck asked that I post something on the website and I'm not really sure what to write. As many of you know his beloved father, Hugh Robbins had been hospitalized a month ago with congestive heart failure. His health spiraled downward after being admitted and the decision was made to not put him through any more surgery. He was taken off life support on Tuesday and after the machines were turned off, he only took a couple breaths and went home to be with his Lord.


I have only had the pleasure of being loved and loving Hugh for the past four and half years and had hoped to have a great many more years with him. He was such a sweet man and he loved to tease and be teased. I'll never forget the first time I met him. Chuck had asked me out on a date to a Kirk Talley concert (what other kind of date would it be). Chuck was driving and his mom was riding in the front with him because it's hard for her to get in and out of the vehicles. Anyway, my seat was next to Hugh. He, in his always gentlemanly way, got out of the van to let me in. I climbed in my seat and as he was getting in he accidentally (??) pulled on Jackie's seat belt. She turned around and said, "Wow, I don't even know you yet and you're trying to choke me." I tried to tell her it wasn't me but she wasn't buying it. I looked over at Hugh and he was laughing at me. We always laughed at how he tried to get me in trouble from Day 1. I am sure going to miss him! (The picture above is Hugh with all his children at last year's family reunion.)


Visitation will be at Miles Martin Funeral Home, 1194 E. Mount Morris Road, Mount Morris, MI from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. today (June 11th). Funeral service will be at Trinity Assembly of God, 4363 W. Mount Morris Road, Mount Morris, MI at 2:00 p.m. with visitation starting at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, June 12th. Condolence cards can be sent to The Royalheirs, PO Box 31, Capac, MI 48014.


Please keep Chuck's mom, Jackie and the rest of our family in your prayers as we go through this overwhelming time of sorrow.


Blessings,


Pam
