Linda,
I will always love and miss Dad #2. You all have always been there when friends were needed and hopefully the favor can be returned. I know he is up there just laughing away the time with his parents and Jamie.

The hardest part about loosing a loved one is all they leave behind are feeling empty inside as if a part of them is gone forever. What we need to be is strong and never let go of the fact your loved ones are here with you in wonderful memories! That is something that noone can ever take away from you! I love my family very much and will always be here for anyone who needs me!

Dear Linda & family,
So sorry to hear about Bob. When I saw his name, it was like a blast from the past. It brought back the memories when we were all involved with Cub Scouts. Bob was so great with the boys and you two did so much with the troop. We had great times during the meetings, crafts, pinewood derby and so on. It was sad to see the troop split up.
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved husband Bob. He was a good man.

I would like to extend my condolences to the family and friends of Robert Jester. These can be difficult times, however, much comfort can be found in God's Word the Bible with such scriptures as Isa.25:8, and Ps.37:11,29.
