Two reader comments about Robert Henning
Booby was a former student of mine. I lost track of him after 8th grade. I was so sad to read this story. He was a talented and spirited young man. I pray for his family during this difficult time. I hope he is at peace and is in the hands of the Lord. Please contact me if you have any more to share about his life. Godspeed!
