Dear Family and Friends of Robert Eugene Lyda. We share in your loss and are praying for you. He always had a smile and a great sense of humor. He was loved by everyone. Today Eugene is reunited with his Family, including his dear wife Beatrice Bates Lyda in Heaven. Today, Eugene is happy and whole. Thank God we will see him again in Heaven. If there is someone who does not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, may they come to know Jesus before it is too late. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God provide mercy, peace, grace, discernment and your needs for each day and challenge ahead. Love and prayers, Tonya Sabrina Mitchell and husband, Brian Lee Pace
