It's almost been a year but yet It feels like yesterday. We think about you and miss you daily. We understand that God has other plans for you but it doesn't make it any easier for those of us left behind. You have the most awesome Grandsons. I am pretty sure they would have been right on your heel's folowing their BopBop everywhere he went. Just keep an eye on us from up above and help keep the Boy's safe. XOXO

JoAnn and Bob,
Praying God's peace and comfort for you and your family during this time, and hope that you can also find comfort in the memories of your times spent together.
Sounds like [from other guest book entries] that he was just a bit ornery - wonder where he got that, hmmmm? I can sure see both of you in his picture!
Love you both, Connie
