In memory of Mrs. Phyllis Raelene O’Connor Hapke Robertson

I met the first Navigator missionary couple
Roy and Phyllis Robertson in 1962
Phyllis set the pace for my impression
Of what it means to be a wife of a Navigator

Always kind and gentle
Never self-absorbed
Served with love and patience
Mindful of one’s needs

Never overbearing
Never complaining
Always encouraging
Always affirming

She taught me
To speak up for myself
She showed me
How to serve the Lord
By serving others

A quiet gentle spirit
An elegant lady
A godly mother to her children
A spiritual one to many

A tower of strength and help
A life-long soul mate
To her beloved
Roy Robertson

Now she rests in the presence
Of our loving heavenly Father
Awaiting the coming day
When we shall all meet again
In His presence of joy
Forevermore
