To the family, I am sorry for the giant loss that has came to your family. I have known Robert (Bob) for my entire life. I have listened and heard stories that were shared. My mother who has been friends with Brenda since I was young, allowed me to become friends with Kami and Spencer from a young age. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Times right now may seem sad but all you should really do is imagine the fun and think about the reunions that are taking place. Bob is home and will see you again. Again my prayers go out to you all and I am so sorry for the loss.
