My love to the kids of Robert and to my sister on the lost of their father and her loving husband. You had many years of good times and happiness together. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Love, Cathy Southerland & her husband Mike

For Earnest DoByns, brother of Robert DoByns,
This is Rich Gibbs, the C-tunnel opperater back in the day of Lone Star.
I'm sorry to hear Robert has left us. I'll always have those memories, back in 78-84 at Lone Star Crusher and out running around in Sunset with him and you. I always did consider him to be a brother. Remember the "monkey" that ran around the crusher, the tracks in the mud? Yeah, I've still hold a great deal of memories with him and you in it and I'm sorry to hear he's gone.
Rich Gibbs, C-Tunnel opperator back in the day
We respected Robert so much, love him even more,
miss him very much, and THANK GOD FOR THE TIME WE HAD.
They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
Your so wonderful to think of
But so hard to be without.
We can not bring the old days back,
when we were all together
The family chain is broken now,
but memories live forever.
