Aunt Laura, Michelle, Scott, Daphne, Taylor, Chelsey and Derrick,
We are very sorry about the passing of Uncle Bob. He was such a wonderful and proud husband, father and grandfather. He was a very caring son, brother and uncle too. My grandmother loved her visits to Arizona where she was able to spend several weeks with Uncle Bob and his family. When my grandmother couldn't travel any longer, he would call every day to encourage her. He was a very kind brother too.
He really loved his family and Arizona.
We wish you all peace and hope.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Emersons. We will all miss Uncle Bob so much. Will always remember him for his love and support over the years. He was so comforting to GG (Irene) as she navigated her 90s. Will remember with fondness how he enjoyed serving as our tour guide when we visited Phoenix. He so loved the town he called home for so many decades. We pray that God comforts you with happy memories. We love you all so much!

Please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of Bob. I have so many happy memories of spending time at each other's homes when we were growing up. We were very lucky to have him in our lives. I was also very happy that my Mom was able to see him before his passing, and will always remember their connection and conversation always. God bless you all at this time.
