B Mae,
We will surely miss Bobby and extend our deepest sympathy to you and Danny.
We will always remember the fun we had on the cruise a few years ago and Tommy will never forget the times Bobby and he shared on the upper deck watching the ship dock and leave port.
God Bless you and guide you through the days ahead.
Love,
Hilda & Tommy

To the Sheperd family I send my heart breaking sorrow for your loss. I just briefly knew "Bob" but in that short time I grew to love him for his personality and caring. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers. If you ever need anything do not hesitate.

Dear B.Mae and Danny,
We were saddened when Paul called to give us the news of Bobby's passing. Bobby certainly gave us all a wonderful example of Christian faith and fortitude as he battled his illnesses. May you be comforted by the sure knowledge that he is in a place where there is neither sickness nor pain.
We're thankful that he had the opportunity to know and love his grandchildren. That must have been a great comfort to him.
You and all your family are in our prayers and in our hearts.
Love, John and Betty

Dear B.Mae, It is always so sad to read about a classmate's passing or the spouse of a classmate. My sympathy goes out to you and your family. I am a widow, so I know the pain and sorrow you are going through. May God Bless each one of you and take care of you.

I remember Bobby playing with me at Grandma and Granddaddy Shepherd's when they'd all come to visit! One time we were playing in the grove and I stepped in a yellow jackets nest. Bobby and the rest of my cousins were picking stingers out of my hands as they carried me to the house. Kindness goes a long way and Bobby was one of the kindest people I know. He will be missed, but not forgotten. We will all be together again one day. God Bless his family. Love Connie Sue
