My heartfelt feelings go to the whole family. Bobby was a very good brother and a wonderful person. I hold many fond memories of him. Of the five of us, Bob was by far the best. A loving husband, good father, grandfather, son, and brother. I will never forget him and his sweet, gentle way.
Your families remain in our prayers. May you find comfort knowing he's joined his family members in heaven with our Lord. May God Bless you and hold you close.
Uncle Bob, although we did not get to spend much time together with you living up north. You were thought of fondly and I knew that you would were a true man of your word. May you rest in peace and your family follow your example. Our prayers are with you. Psalm 46:10.
I am so sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. May the God of all comfort sustain you as you await the promises found at John 5:28,29 and Rev. 21:4 where God promises to do away with all the things that cause us suffering and pain including death here on the earth forever. It is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family at this time.
