Uncle Bob,

I laughed and cried to hear of your graduation. Every Christian's goal is to see His face and now the veil has been lifted from your eyes forever. Some would say we lost a great man, but I say "Nothing is lost in the Kingdom" and your heart for souls beats on in the lives of your wonderful daughters and the many people you have touched during your incredible journey here. It will truly be a great day when we are all together around the Throne. Until then and always...

The Lord Reigns!

Daddy,

Thank you for your unwavering Spirit, for your love & for showing

me that when you put God first, everything else in life will fall

into place. I am so thankful and

honored that God chose me to be your

daugther & placed me into a family that doesn't seperate by sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, neice, nephew....we're just FAMILY.

How do I feel? With my hands daddy!

I'll see you soon & I love you.

So many great memories, and stories that I heard about Uncle Bob when I was growing up. Most of them having to do with having fun and making sure others were having fun. His compassion for others stood out. I think his encouragement to us today would be: WORK FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING, WHEN MAN'S WORK IS DONE.
