Bobbie,people say that as time goes on it gets easier. I don't think so. I am glad your not having the pain and the hard time of breathing anymore, but I miss you so much each day it hurts my heart. I love you and hope someday I will be with you again. Your loving wife and best friend. Linda

It's been over a month now since Skip has left us - the pain is still very raw. Linda is struggling each day to carry on and to do everyday tasks. She is a strong and deterimed woman and finds comfort by being home because that is where she senses her Bobbie's presence the most. She prays continuously for the strength to carry on. She loved her Bobbie dearly.
Skip's example of being a loving caring husband, father and friend is the best gift anyone can give their children. It is very apparent how much Matt & Heidi admired their father by the lifes they are leading themselves. Jenny and Matt gave Skip and Linda two beautiful grandchildren Emilie and Matthew, that they cherish. All the children and grandchildren miss their Daddy and Papa so very much.
Erma has felt the pain no parent should ever have to endure. She loved her Skipper greatly. Then there is Dick, Sandi, Susie and Lori that have lost their brother and a very dear friend. Bob will be so sadly missed by so many.
My heart and love go out to all of you.
Barbie
