I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Uncle Bob from when I was a kid and our families would get together on occasion. My prayers go out to the entire family.

My condolences to the family of Mr. Key. How comforting it is to know that your dear loved one has the wonderful prospect of resuming life again free from all causes of death and the grief that follows.

I have thought about Uncle Bob and Aunt Dale many times over the years after my Dad ( Larry Lange) passed away in 1976. Everyone just lost touch and got busy in our daily lives and time really does slip away. I wish I could been able to visit everyone while we are still here on earth. My condolences to the entire family on the passing of Uncle Bob.
All my love- Loretta Lange Speer- San Antonio Texas
