My love, my soul mate my best friend!! Where do I begin?? We have had so many ups and downs and we finally were so happy together. You always said you and I would grow old together and we had so many plans. Now you had to leave and god had a special plan for you. I don't know how I will be able to go on but knowing you're wrapping your arms around me and giving me the strength to go on is great comfort. I love you my Bobby and life for me will never be the same. The dogs are taking it hard. They look for you every time they hear someone at the door they get so excited but then they come back and lay down in sadness. I have your boots I got you for Christmas sitting under the table where you always left them and Puck uses them as a pillow. Know this Bobby Marko I love you and you will always be my man!! My rock!! My ear!!!My counselor!!You are truly one of a kind and NO words can help fill the void in my heart!! Love you always!! Your Wifey!!

MY DEAR SISTER, Where do I begin? I am so sorry for your loss. The two of you came a long way since high school. And finally fell in love. You had a fairy tale wedding in Las Vegas. Your dreams were coming true. You had so much to do together. But God had something else planned for Bob. I am taking this hard and I am having trouble finding the words to say to you to make it better. No matter what I say or do will not bring him back. I am here for you and I love you very much. Some day I will be able to find the right words. Lean on me I am here for you.

Dear Gloria, Bob, Becky & children, Autumn and Emily. To know Bobby was to love him. I will never forget his laugh, or the fact that he always called me his "favorite" Aunt, even though I know he told all his Aunts the same thing. He had a great sense of humor, loved his girls deeply, and worked hard. He helped to put a new roof on my parents house! Always giving where help was needed. I will always remember him fondly. May all our prayers and the grace of God comfort and hold you close to Him. All my love.

Autumn and Emily,
Your father and I started work together 15 yrs ago at carpenter technology. Bob and I were more than co workers we were great friends. We had a lot of fun together outside of work. Your dad was one of the best men I ever met in my lifetime. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone that needed it. Autumn and Emily you guys were his life. He talked about you all the time and loved you dearly. I am so sorry. I will miss him dearly. Not too many bob markos come around in a lifetime. He was one of a kind. May you guys find peace and love through family and friends. God bless.
