Dear Renee, Jonathan and Alex,
Bobby was my nephew, but simply he was much more. I know he was a good husband to you Renee and a wonderful father to you his sons and I know you will all miss him dearly. But please know he is at peace and in pain no more. My precious memories of him will live on forever. I will remember how much he changed all of our lives for the better.
May God help you to understand why he called him so soon and guide you to go on without him.
