Jamie and Powell family, we are saddened to know that you have lost your loved one so soon after losing Bobby. A reminder of the frailty of life and our imperfect state. What a comfort to have had the visualizations of the resurrection at our recent conventions. May you all find a quiet time to meditate on the reunion with your loved ones, soon to be realized. In the meantime, our prayer is that you will find comfort together as you celebrate the precious life of your father, grandfather, sibling, etc. You will be in our thoughts on Saturday as you remember such a kind, generous and patient man.

Dear Powell Family,
Indeed Bob's passing is such a loss for such a close and loving family as well as those that loved him.
I was honored & grateful that Bob was a friend of mine and I was able to witness his deep constant love for his wife and children.
He will be a useful contribution to the New World!
Love,
Carmine
