Mary, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Bobby was my first senior when I joined the Pike nine years ago. He was a great guy and surely will be missed. It was good to meet you at the funeral, which was a nice tribute to Bobby. Your minister did a great job with the eulogy. I'll miss Bobby - the only thing we disagreed on was baseball teams. May God bless him and you, too.

Once upon a time, this wonderfully awesome angel (Bobby) saw a kid in need, took her by the hand, threw rollerskates on her and pretended that he was her big brother.
Rest in Peace big brother... may that laugh of yours be heard over the angels singing.
