If my parting has left a void.
Then fill it with remembering joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
My life's been full, I have savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undo grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now... He has set me free.

Erika & Nichole, my deepest sympathy goes out for you and your family at this time of such sorrow. May the Lord give all of you the strength to get through the coming difficult days. Reminisce all the good times you had with Bob, as that is what will help see you through this seemingly unbearable time.. I loved him and his caring ways. He spent so much time laughing with me, helping me every single day with his sense of humor. Please know how very much Bob was loved by every person he came in contact with, for his caring, for his helping, for his compassion, for his way to get you to see humor in even the most grave of situations. I will miss him so much.

Love & Prayers,
Linn (Luverly)
