It's day 57. It's not easy to live without you. I do not know who to trun to to ask advice, but I am learning.
It helps when I see the light which makes me feel like you are here. My mind and thoughts can not get far from you. They gave me a raise last night at work. What irony. Baby I Love and Miss you. and you are still full of it. z

Dear Zerita Pepp
It was with a great sense of loss when I heard of Bob’s death. I wanted to let you know that our hearts are truly saddened.
Bob was more than just a wonderful person; he was always so kind and considerate to us that we always welcomed seeing him at every opportunity.
Words alone cannot express our sympathy on the untimely death of Bob, a father and friend. To say that his time with us was far too short is an understatement. The reality is that he will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew him.
No doubt the outpouring of sympathy you have received since his parting has been of some consolation. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to you of how well-loved and liked he was.
I hope that you and the rest of family will find peace and comfort in knowing that his suffering is over and that his just rewards await him.
May God bless you and just know that Bob is behind the wheel of Tuck in heaven delivering God’s Goods Now.
Yours In Faith,
Edward & Claudia Smith (San Antonio, Texas)

I met Bob and Zedra in the 80s,
We were trucking teams. Bob and Zerda, my bride Jane and myself.
Bob and I never quit teasing each other Who was the oldest, the youngest, the better truck driver, the best looking? through all the years we kept it up
Now all thats left are the memories, and what a lot of good ones they are!
I know one thing My friend Bob was a christian He always stood firm, never wavered,He proclaimed his christian standing, He had a lighted cross on his truck so other drivers could see it at night.Never did he hurt or oppress any one I knew. He would help anyone who he could
So I have nothing but respect and good things to say about my friend
I'll miss him

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. May God bless and watch over those of us left to remember.

Aunt Zerida, first I want to say I love you very much. As everyone knows I love Uncle Bob as well. I always loved ya'll coming into town (not just because he bought me Monkeys or coffee as I got older, LOL) but because he loved me and was a Great Man. I remember when I was little I wanted to drive a Big Truck because of ya'll then he told me NO don't. Anyway, before Mamaw past away she gave me a picture of Uncle Bob holding me when I was about 3 in her front yard. I have always keep that picture close and have looked at it often. He will forever be close to my heart. I am posting what another one of my uncles had to say about Uncle Bob because I thought it was fit Uncle Bob well. I hope you like it.... This morning at the weigh station at the gates of heaven pulled up a Kenworth W900. Driven by my cousin Bob Pepp. After a level one inspection he was given a report with " No Violations found" and a green light came on at the end of the scales. He hit the on ramp for that golden interstate. Bob was the role model an...d mentor that led me to trucking. Save me a parking spot Bob. Till we meet again, Coondawg

Hi sis,
I love you very much and my family and I will be praying because of your grief. I have always thought of bob as friend and a big brother. He has always shown me the greatest respect and friendship any one could ask for. I always felt he treated people the way he wanted to be treated. I know one thing he is glad to be with the lord now and the lord is happy to have him.
I'm sorry for being so busy because health and family reasons the last few years.

Hi Zerida,
My heart is aching for you in the loss of your loved one Bob. Our lives feel so empty when they part, but a feeling of peace is so overwhelming at the same time. The closest you'll feel to God is knowing they have arrived! I will keep you in my prayers daily. I love you, Your cousin, Mickey

Heaven became a little dearer, knowing he is with Christ, and waiting for us. We know the heaviness of loss and our tears are for your loss and for ourselves. Please know you are in our prayers, as you are facing this difficult time without his strength to lean on.

Zerida, I have just read all of the guest book entries and am very impressed by what others had to say about Bob. I am saddened that I never really got to KNOW him. It seems that he leaves quite a legacy: a Godly man who passed on his wisdom, who nurtured others, who shared his faith, who spread joy in the lives of those with whom he came in contact. Wow! What a tribute. I praise God that this hard-working, loving and giving man is now in the presence of our Lord where he is made whole and strong, where he is at complete peace and in the presence of Perfect Love. He is home. May the Lord Jesus bless and comfort you in the coming days, weeks, and even years as you grieve over your loss, may He gradually draw you to praise His name for the reward Bob has surely received, and give you assurance that you WILL meet again. We all will meet again. Hallelujah! Praise His name. In my thoughts and prayers ...
May 8, 2010
Zerida,
I haven't known you very long but I felt that I should let you know that Bob is in a better place. He is with his Lord. Take comfort in knowing that and also know that if there is anything that my family and I can do for you, we are here anytime you need us...
Love in Christ,

I sit in front of my keyboard thinking of all the memories I had with my Uncle Bob & the thing's that keep playing in my mind is the faith in the lord he would always tell & how to always respect the lady's & watch what you say in front of them & to stick to your word when you give it.. I miss watching him & my brothers work in the yard & talk about his old car in his garage we always dreamed of.. I am just saddend not to be there in his final days & only in my past memories.. I re-assured though he is with us all each day by the huge rainbow that appeared the day he walked thru heavens gate... I asked my brother do you think heaven was everything Uncle Bob thought it was? He said NO! I was shocked but then he replied it was more! Take care Buddy & like you always said GOD BLESS! I love you Aunt Zerida keep the faith he gave to us close to your heart & it will all work out...

I am so Blessed for having loved and been loved by Bob....I thank the Lord for people out there like you.....
I will always remember his words of encouragement, "The Good Lord will never give you more than you can handle."
The Good Lord, The Good Lord, The Good Lord !!!!!!
I will miss his voice, but his words and love shall be with me forever.

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” [Isa. 40:3]
Such was the mission - the “calling” - of “Trucker” Bob Pepp, and his earthly help mate Zerida - whereas the four of us, almost three decades ago realized as truckers, that “The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.” [Isa. 33:8]
Many folks knew about Bob; it was our honor to know Bob and Zerida on the personal level. Bob is in a mansion now, in our Father’s house. [John 14:2] To those that read this post, do you personally know Bob’s Savior Jesus the Christ, or merely know about Jesus? That question is one that my “Brother” Bob would want me to ask of you this day.
To our “Sister” in the LORD, Zerida: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you,” in this time of earthly mourning.
Bob is gone from this place called Earth, but never to be forgotten by us.
In His Covenant,
Bill & Vivian Clade

What a great loss of a man who loved life, family and the trucking industry. I'll always remember a professional man who enjoyed his job everyday he got up in the morning. Bob was a 'Legend' in the Moving Business and I shared quite a few meals with him chatting about the 'Old Days'. I will miss him, but I'll remember a good man. My sympathy goes out to you Zerida for your loss of Bob.
May 7, 2010
Zerida and Melody,
I too will always remember the good nature and humor Bob shared with me. I appreciate and will always recall how he thought of others and seemed to be so concerned with me rather than his own aches and pains. I am blessed to have known him and wish you all the best in your future. We'll keep in touch.

So many memories. So many highways traveled. Our hearts ache! There are no words to say how much Bob will be missed! I'll never forget when I met Bob. It was on a loading dock and he asked if I had a sister. That is Zerida...the sister of my heart. What a blessing to watch their love grow and their life together unfold. We will be separated for a time. His awesome spirit will live on in our hearts until we meet again to travel the satin smooth golden highways of heaven together again. But for now, we have a special Guardian Angel to watch over us. As Zerida said, Bobs departing remark was always "GOD BLESS YOU" And we have been blessed to share their life. From our hearts to yours, we give you love and prayers.

So many Precious memories. So many miles of highways we shared. There aren't words to express the loss we feel not having Bob in our lives now. He was forever young at heart. My best memory is when I met Bob on the loading dock and he asked if I had a sister. That sister is the one of my heart, Zerida. I have been blessed to watch their love grow and and their life together unfold. For a time we are separated from Bob. His awesome spirit will live on in our hearts till we meet again where we will travel the satin smooth streets of gold together. (((hugs)))from our heart!

Please send your gifts to Beacon Hospice Margets House. They made his finial days as a gift to me. I love you Bob , Zerida
