There are just no other words I can even begin to articulate other than Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for surrendering your life to the purpose the Lord created you for – championing the home and family as God established – the very foundation of our society.As a young baby boomer wife, mom, Christian school teacher, and pastor’s wife I’ve gone to you over and over through the radio and books for help. Raising my children on Adventures in Odyssey and taking them to visit Whit’s End in Colorado Springs is a highlight our family will never forget. Thank you for fighting for us and making us all aware of the political issues that affect the family and what we could do to speak out. That could not have been easy. Thank you for giving us the words to articulate why these things were so important to stand up for. Although I rejoice at what you are experiencing right now – being in the presence of Jesus, your parents and loved ones – and even though we have never met I feel like you were a hero and mentor and I am so sad that you are no longer here on earth – I always have taken comfort in your presence and your prayers for our nation. God bless you Dr. Dobson and prayers and hugs to your precious family. Our family loves you!

There are not enough words to express my appreciation for Dr. James Dobson and his ministry. His books, Focus on the Family magazines, and radio messages provided much-needed guidance when I was raising my children. We loved the age-appropriate movies and magazines too. Since the inception of the radio programs and podcasts of Family Talk, I continue to learn and value the information from Dr. Dobson‘s messages and interviews, and those of his associates, even during these grandparenting years. My deepest appreciation, prayers, and condolences to Shirley and family. Dr. Dobson will be sorely missed. May God continue to bless the ministry of Family Talk.

There is so much I could say about James Dobson, and how his broadcast helped me get through life. I feel such a loss at his departure to heaven, yet oh what a celebration there must have been when that precious man was welcomed into the arms of Jesus! After getting married at 24, my husband and I accepted the Lord on the same day. This, of course, was God‘s plan, because a couple months later I found out I was pregnant with our first child. I had a wonderful neighbor down the road who was also a young Christian. She introduced me to Focus on the Family with James Dobson. At 10 o’clock every morning, I sat in front of the radio and listened to Focus as Dr. Dobson helped me learn to be a mom, a wife and, most of all, a Christian. Our new baby was born with a severe birth defect. We spent more days than I can count in the hospital, me taking the day shift, my husband taking the nights. I don’t believe I would’ve made it through those years without the steady voice of Dr. Dobson, every day, reassuring me that, indeed, I would get through this with the help of God! The years to follow were filled with advice passed along to me and my husband through the wise words of James Dobson. I can honestly say he taught us to be more like Christ every day. Dr. Dobson was a blessing to so many people; he will be greatly missed! I’m looking forward to meeting him in heaven one day! Peg

We will miss wonderful conservative points of life lessons!
