I am shocked at the sudden departure of my uncle. Although we did not share much time together, the moments that we did have together were always filled with a sense of peace, connection, and love. I am truly grateful for Bob’s presence in my life and family. I already miss him and can’t describe my love and empathy for my Aunt Cindy and cousins Kelley and Dylan. I love you all so much.

My Adopted Family,
Words cannot even express the love and sorrow I feel for you all. I love “Dad Bob” and will miss him greatly. He was a wonderful man and loved his family very much. May you all fiend peace in the Lord and know you will never walk alone in your hour of darkness. We will all see Dad Bob again, whole and healthy. Much love to you my adopted family. xoxoxoxoxo

Dearest Kelley, Dylan and Cindy,
There are no words to comfort you at this time. But be assured that those who love you, feel your loss deeply. Nothing replaces a dad, granddad, or husband. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Laura
