Dear Paula and Family,

Our hearts are so heavy at your great loss. We loved living next door to you in Grandview, and have missed seeing you all.

We remember Bob with love. Our favorite memories are sharing vegetables over the fence and always hearing Bob laughing, even when we where inside our house. When we would hear him laugh, it always made us feel that all was right in the world.

We send our love and feel such pain at your loss. Peace dear friends.

Rick, Tracy and Ryan Keller
