"In 1956, when I was 5 years old, we moved to Arkansas from California. We started (my folks, two older brothers and my twin brother)going to the STATE LINE TABERNACLE in Caverna Missouri. Bob & Izella pastored there. We went to church there for quite awhile. I will never forget Bob & Izella and their preaching. I still remember what they looked like. It will forever be in my memory. A few years ago, before Bob passed away, I went to see them. When I knocked on their door an old woman came to the door and I said''would you happen to be Izella Edwards''? And she said''yes, honey Iam. When I told her who I was we both started crying. She hollared for Bob who was laying down. He couldn't believe it was me nor I him. He was an old man. Not the man whom I remember him looking like. We had a great visit, When I left we all cried. I promised to come back but he passed away before I could complete my promise. It had been over 50 years since I had seen them. I WILL NEVER forget all the memories I had with them and the church. It makes me sad that they are now both gone. I will never forget them.....
