Knowing Bobby was a joy and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I am glad I was able to see him at the Glade reunion as well as our visits to your home. I can still see his smiling face. Take joy in knowing that he is resting in peace. I am praying for your comfort and peace during this time of sorrow.

Della and Family,
At times like this, we feel a bit awkward because it is hard to find the words to say. We look for words that will give comfort and lessen pain, but sometimes words are not enough. Bobby will continue to live in the memories that the two of you created on his journey through life. Find comfort in those memories. Smile through your tears as you remember Bobby as your husband, as the father of your children, and as your friend. The only word I can think of that will bring comfort is Jesus. Call His name. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.He makes me lie down in green pastures,He leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. ~Psalms 23:1-6~

Dear Aunt Della,Ozawa,T.R.,Robbie and Nat,
I cannot say I know how you feel, I have not lost a loving husband or parent, but I know I have lost a loving uncle and for that you have my deepest sympathy. Uncle Bobbie was always fun to be around. I will always remember his kind and gentle way. I especially enjoyed his stories. Be comforted in knowing that we all could see the pride and love he had for his family. I love you all and you are in my heart.

May the Peace of God that passes all our understanding guard your heart and minds through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Truly, having had time to spend, communicate, watch and learn from Bobby and the the family is and was wonderful. It's about the lasting impressions that we leave on those with whom we come in contact and truly every thought and memory is a good one.
May the Lord Jesus Christ Continue to bless and comfort you all through this time of testing.
