Uncle Bobby you will be truly missed. You and Uncle Joe were my favorites. You and him could always get us to laugh at the antics you two would get into. I am saddened with your leaving but know you are in a better place. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you Uncle Bobby.

Dear Karen,Jay,Shane and Jade,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know only too well what it means to lose your Dad and my heart aches for you, but try to remember the great times, the happy times and laughing together. Every time I do that it helps because my Dad had a great sense of humor as I know yours did.
Karen, I miss you more than you know at work too.
