Martha B and Kids
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your husband, Father, and my brother Bob. He will be greatly missed by me and I know you all.
We always had so many stories and memories to share.
When my daughter (Toy) and I were there a couple of years ago for the family reunion, we shared stories then....it felt so good to see and talk to my brother Bob.
I know there will be many lonely days ahead of all of you, but I pray god will wrap his arms around you and give you strength....
I love you all, your brother in law and your uncle George.....

Aunt Martha B and family ,
We are deeply sorry to hear that Uncle Bob passed away. I always enjoy the stories daddy would share about him and Uncle Bob when they were young. I was looking at a picture daddy had from the last family reunion he attended and I could see how much he enjoyed spending time with all of you. I know he’s going to be missed, but Remembering him will be easy you’ll do it every day, even though missing him is a heart ache that will never go away, but rely on the lord to give you strength and comfort in the days ahead. You’re in our thoughts and prayers, Tabu and Michael

To all of Bob’s families, Jerry and I express our deepest sympathies and praying for all of you. Bob lived a great happy long life, sad that we all will face difficult days if we live long enough, and you have watched your loved one have very sad days. His pain is gone, sickness is gone, he has a new body, waiting to see all of you. What precious memories you have to hang on to, and joyous times to come. God bless all of you.
