Dear Lisa,
We were so saddened to read of your father's passing. Although we didn't know him well, thoughts of him always bring a smile to us. Good humor and warmth always accompanied him. Our sincere wishes of sympathy to you and your family. We are so pleased that we knew him - although briefly. He had that way of leaving a lasting impression. The best to you dear lady.
With love, Elaine Paulson and Don Baker

I give you this thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn.
May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears.
Our prayers and love to you Lisa and Bobby and to your family.

Robert made an impact on everyone who knew him. He taught me so much,and if I take anything from those teachings,I hope I can be a fourth of the extraordinary human being Robert was. There wont be a day to go by that I wont think of him. God bless .... Holly Hewitt (Casper,w.y)
