Marilyn and family,
Having sung in the church choir facing the congregation for many years, I will always remember Bob sitting out in the pews, smiling cheerfully (especially when his lovely wife was playing violin.) He was always a happy presence...one of those faces you would seek out to brighten your day. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, but we know he is in a wonderful place now. (And I wouldn't be surprised if my dad, one of the other "new guys" up there, was one of the ones to greet him when he showed up :) God bless you Marilyn...we love you and are praying for you and the rest of your family as you adjust to this huge loss. We'll never forget Bob !

Alzheimer's robs one of the precious gift of memory. But we will remember Bob and in remembering he will live on in those of us who knew him and those who will come to know him from our stories. Our warmest thoughts are with you Marilyn, and all your family, at this sad time.
