In Memoriam



Robert Lloyd Mauldin (1938-2008)

Born to Lloyd and Martha Mauldin in 1938; Robert or as he was known to many Uncle Bob quietly passed away in July of 2008. He donated his body to medical science under the Genesis Legacy Foundation (genesislegacy.org) to help further medical education. Robert was preceded in death by his parents Lloyd Ulysses & Martha Mae Mauldin, two sisters Priscilla Deane and Brenda Sue Mauldin as well as one brother Terry Dennis Mauldin. Uncle Robert survived by his 3 children Robbie James, Shellie Claudine and Sabrina Irene Mauldin. He also has survived by 3 sisters Sarah Smith, Nancy Coldicott & Joyce Essary as well as one remaining brother William Mauldin. He will be missed by all. The following poem has been adapted from the writings of
J. Morse and, I thought it truly fit my Uncle’s beliefs. We love you Uncle Robert and will miss you.

One quiet day the angels came
and took Uncle Bob far away
But in the stillness of the night
I could almost hear him say
Dear Family I will miss you
You mean so much to me
But Jesus called me to his side
In heaven I will be
A place of God’s great beauty
No tears or earthly cares
Only peace and joy forever
And love beyond compare
So remember all the special moments
Through the years we’ve always had
And if you trust in Jesus I can promise this and more
You will get a hug from Uncle Bob someday
and a little kiss.
