Bobby - I just heard of Bob's promotion to Heaven. Gosh - I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to you, Heather and Bobby. Sending you a hug. But I am positive he is up there with your Mom and Dad, my Mom, Grandma and Grandpa Cook - making them all laugh with his "tales". He always had a hug and warm greeting for me, which was always welcomed and appreciated.

Dear Barb, You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers as you say goodbye to your dear husband. Though I didn't have the opportunity to meet Bob, I know he was a wonderful husband, father, friend, etc. I hope you can find peace and comfort in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead, as you carry out his legacy of love. Thinking of you with deepest sympathy.
