This day always brings back memories of Bob and the happy attitude he always seemed to have.
It is amazing how many years have already passed since Bob went home to be with the Lord.
His good memory remains in my heart as I reflect on this day.

Being my dads first cousin, both Bob & Leona were a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Bob was a kind and special man, with a memorable laugh and smile. I remember how he loved to work on his Model A and enjoyed their time with the camper. I often think about him, and welcome the time I can still visit with Leona to remember him and enjoy her continued strong faith in the Lord Jesus.

Bob was a big part of my family growing up as he was dad's first cousin. We had many memorable family get togethers, and I will always remember his smile & laugh. He and Leona have continued to grow in Christ over the many years.
Praise the Lord!!!!
Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with Leona and family during this time of loss.
