Nicks birthday was yesterday and i didnt even see him and it hurt me so bad, but I am getting him today and we are goin to see Lyle. He got out of the hospital yesterday and just in time b4 his birthday tomorrow.
Well I love you so much and keep watchin over me please.

Bob's birthday is the 9th of September. Dorothy (Bob's sister) wants to thank everyone that wishes that he would be alive to celebrate his birthday. Dorothy wants to say to everyone that she and Bob had so many great times as they were growing up, and even as they were adults, that the memories are very real, (just as if he were alive now). Dorothy wishes all of his dreams had come true. A good many of them did.
Dorothy wants to tell everyone that she appreciates all the good will that everyone has shown toward her brother.
Dorothy want everyone to know that as long as she is alive, and able, that her brother, Bob, will never be far from her thoughts.
Dorothy wants the memory of Bob to be very lasting.

Just wanted to post that Sara (Bob's wife) has done a great job with the headstone that was placed at Bob's burial site.
Sara and Bob were just like being one person. No one could come between them.
Also, my wife, Dorothy, was a major person in his life. They grew up together, and shared "secrets". They were bonded from the beginning.
I think it was only fitting that Bob was in her arms where he passed. Dorothy will forever remember that he was in her arms when he passed away.
Sara was there, also. It seems fitting that the two most important people were with him when he passed away.
May his soul rest in peace.

Just wamted to post that Sara (Bob's wife} has done a great job with the Headstone that was placed at his gravesite. The headstone is one that Bob would be very proud of. She and Bob were so close that nothing could come between them. Bob and Sara were so close it was as if they were just one person. My wife {(Bob's sister (Dorothy), from the time they were born, were so close that no secret was ever present (except between them, (smile}.
Dorothy misses her brother very much. They grew up together, and they were very close. It was a very sad day when Bob passed. Dorothy will forever remember that Bob was in her arms when he passed.
Sara was there at the end of his life, also.
I belive these were the two most important people in his life. So, it was just fitting those two were present when he passed away.

Hey daddy,
I been thinking bout you alot n the the pain I feel without you here doesnt seem to get any better. I went to your vigil last Sunday n mom went with me, it was so hard.
Lyle's back surgery is coming up this Tuesday n I am so scared and nervous, I just wish you was here for me and Lyle. But I know you will be watching over us that day and God will be as well. Fathers Day is also approaching and the thought of you not being here is unbareable for me to deal with, but don't worry I will come visit you as I would every fathers day.
I love you so much daddy n miss you so very much. You are forever in my heart.

Daddy,
Its almost been 5 months since you have left me. I miss you soooo much daddy, some days are worse than others for me to cope with the fact that I am never gonna get to see you or talk to you.
But you will be glad to know your grandson Lyle is in fact graduating in May, and he is going in for his back surgery on June 14th. I wish you would have been there for both of them. How I need to hear by my side.
You will forever be in my heart.
I love you daddy.

My heart goes out to all the family of Bob. I loved him too as a person and as a son-in-law but most of all just because he was "Bob". My thoughts are with you and especially with my loving daughter, Sara.

Daddy I cannot begin to tell you what this last year has done to me emotionally. I watched you slip away from me slowly but I know that you are at peace now and that you are finally pain-free. I am going to miss you so much daddy. I love you with all my heart I know now you are being watched over by your mama and daddy, so you are in good hands.
We will miss you so much,
Pam n Robbie,
your grandsons-Lyle n Nicholas
