Mary - my Father, Mother, and I send our deepest sympathies. Knowing Bob, and you, for even our brief time together enriched our lives. We will miss him (and you). My Father is devastated. I can imagine Bob walking, talking, laughing, and golfing with the Angels! Praying for you, and your family, and wishing you comfort in this difficult time. Kye Tramsen Morrow

Dear Mary, Bob, Colleen and family,

Peggie and I received the news that Bob had answered his Lord's call with deep sadness, yet spontaneous joy.

Bob was one of us. Seems like I (Peter) knew him forever, going back to the days of our investment club. We shared so much in common and will miss him very much. What we know most about him and you is that you are faith filled and hopeful people. And therein lies our joy.

We believe he is already home with the Lord, that beaming smile radiating down on us, and free from the pain, the suffering, the waiting.

He is where we, one day, will all be - and be reunited with him and with all we have loved and who await that final reunion. This is our faith; this is who we are.

May the Lord strengthen you in these hours of deep confusion, pain and loss. May He remind you of His often repeated prayer to all of us: "Be not afraid!" - and of His promise: "I will raise him up on the last day!"

We offer you our condolences, but also our blessings and our gratitude. Bob - and all of you - have been an inspiration.

Know that you are very much in our thoughts and prayers as we now turn from praying for Bob to praying to him.

Love, Peggie and Peter
