I never had the pleasure of meeting Bob, yet it is clear that he was an honorable man whom many people admired. From stories and photos I see a man who delighted in others and was both strong and gentle.
Esther, Leah, and Gabriel - You are three people that I hold in my heart - you were there even before I knew about your husband/father - and you will stay for all time. My prayer for you is that your transition into your new lifestyle goes smoothly and that your memories will be filled with images that bring you comfort and joy.

Oh Bobby your life ended too soon. I'm so sad your gone. I know God needed you as an Angel. Some day I will understand why. You saw your Angels waiting to escort you so I know you found your way. When it's my time, I hope to see you as one of my Angels. Love you so much! Miss you too much already.
Your little sis!
