Your family to me represented the story of love, forgiveness and the redemptive power of Christ. Though your dear husband, father, brother and friend will be missed here, we that believe know he will be awaiting us in glory with that hardy laugh and big open arms. Peace to you and yours.

Although words are inadequate, may it be some small comfort knowing you and your family are in my prayers for the Lord's perfect comfort. I'm praying that as the days pass, unnumbered wonderful memories will replace today's sorrow. Bob was a truly unique friend and somehow could always bring a smile to my face. I'm blessed to have known him.
