I miss your laugh, your philosophical sayings spouting wisdom. You are in my memories always and much of who I am is because of our relationship. I see so much of you in Logic and he often reminisces about you and your manner of speaking. You left us with many fond memories. Peace and Easy

Hi Daddy, it's been a year and I have missed you. Yesterday I mentioned to Mecca that today is the the first anniversary of your death. Mecca asked if I would be sad all day. This is my response.
I choose to hold dear the fond and loving memories that we created together. I choose to embrace the appreciation of music, your witty sayings, your mastery of vocabulary, poetic readings, and your decision to nuture positivity. I love you; I miss you; I thank you for all the parts of you that you shared with me. Today I choose to reflect on the experiences that wouldn't have been without you. When I reflect in that manner my appreciation of the memories overwhelms the sadness that you are no longer here. You have done your part. It is up to me to keep you alive.

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas Bob!

“Dear God, we are here to express our gratitude for all your blessings. You have given us so much, not only providing what we need to live, but in giving us yourself. We are richly blessed, and it is right to acknowledge that you are the source of all good things. Yet this day also brings a mix of emotions to us. We confess our thanks, but also our sadness because of the empty place at our table. We know that death and sorrow were not your original plan, but we also know that you use difficulties to draw us closer to you and to each another. Here and now fill the empty places in our hearts and this empty place at our table. Teach us to savor the moments we have with one another, to rightly remember what we have lost, but also to look forward in hope to what we have promised in the future. We say again, ‘Your love is better than life.’ Thank you for all your blessings, for even through trials and loss you always, somehow reveal your goodness. In Jesus we pray.”

So many good memories to look back on during this season! We thank you and I pray we all continue to make new memories you would be proud of.....Be Blessed!!!

Bob – A friend, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather and so much more. When I look back over the years I can say I was truly blessed to have you in my life. So many memories and stories that you have left us to share. Your great-grandchildren sit around trying to imitate your gestures, your walk, your swag, and those catchy phrases that only you can do. I don’t have to say goodbye because I can see the seeds you have planted and the fruit it is producing daily in this family.
 
I thank you for your life and countless sacrifice. Although we may be sorrowful, I can say with certainty that this is only a temporary absence, because I believe God received you with open arms as your soul heard those words you so patiently waited to hear, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

I'm Free

“Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My Life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.”

The death of a person is not the time to weep, it is a time of rejoicing, for the Lord our God, has brought His child to sit by Him forever. This is a time for all to remember the pleasant times. Do not be selfish and wish them back, for they have gained what every human desires, Eternal Peace. My love to you all!

Vaniece, Renee, Laura and family; I am grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting your dad back in the early 1990's on one of his visits to Seattle and each visit that I was able to see him was always a delight. Please know that my daughter Price and I are keeping you all in our prayers as you go on this journey that none of us want to travel but know that we must. I traveled this journey 5 years ago and can only imagine what you all are going through. Vaniece, your extended family here in Seattle love's you and we want you to know that we are here for you if you should need us. Also your goddaughter wants me to tell you she loves you beyond measure and misses you.

Robert - To one who bears the sweetest name and adds a luster to the same, who shared our joys, who cheered when sad, the greatest friend we ever had. Long life was his, for there's no other could bear his name, no not another.

Clickum, part one

November 5, 2014
<p>I first met Mr. Lumkin years ago when he visited Vaneice in Seattle, maybe 7-8 years ago.. I was on my way to the gym when Vaneice called and said she got a nee haircut; I was excited to see how it turned out and we decided we would meet at Starbucks. I was so "wowed" by her to new &amp; to my delight, her father had also come along, she introduced us and I sat down we started talking and I started to Smile. He was very dapper. We talked about Jazz, among other things and after about 2-3 hours I told him you have to come home with me and meet my husband! He is going to love you! Vaneice and 'Pops' came that evening to meet my family, my husband Joseph. ,and my 3 kids.He came back a few days later for dinner. But the first night he told us Wonderful stories and how reminded both of our own Fathers. He sent me a years subscription to a jazz magazine that I still have every copy. Mr. Lumpkin you are truly missed. Vaneice, Thank you for sharing your "Daddy" with me and my family.&nbsp; I will never forget the 'Clickum' story! </p>
