Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Husband, Friend.
Bob Mathiew has touched all of our lives in so many memorable ways.
I'm honored to have had the opportunity to have met him and share stories...he knew everybody! I only wish I met him and his wonderful family sooner.
Bob was very, very proud of his large family. I can see they all came to be the most loving, generous people you would ever hope to meet, from "Mum", right down to the grandchildren.
God Bless You, Bob.

To the family,
As Uncle Bob's God Daughter, I have very fond memories of all our histories throughout the years. You provided a beautiful memorial service for him that made me proud of every family member in your presentations. I needed to come home and be a part of this celebration. I can't imagine not having been there with all of you. It was beautiful, and you all stood to the fore to deliver for your father, in the most loving ceremony, in the most difficult time for anyone to speak through your emotions. Well done!

Love to all, and Merry Christmas, now that we know Uncle Bob is "soaring with the Eagles!"
