The last time we saw Bob was at Diane and Craig's wedding in August 1991, when cousin Janet was still alive. Since then, we have exchanged Christmas cards with Bob, and reminisced about the Menekaunee fish fries at the Marine House in Marinette, WI. Our sympathy is sent to the extended Bodell and Osos families from across Lake Michigan. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Cousin Sharon and John

We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. The kids and I always enjoyed visiting with Uncle Bob at Harold and Janets. Uncle Bob was always a joy to talk and reminisce with. He will be truly missed by the kids and I. Julie, Raven & Bob Jr.

Dear Donna and Diane, and family,
I remember when I used to bake cookies at Christmas time and take them down to your dad. Those were happy memories of your dad.
We will miss your dad as a special neighbor, but we know he is out of his pain.
We're sorry we were not able to get to Kaul's, but I had to work, then our grandson had a music concert tonight.
Praying for your family at this time.
Donna, you have my number if you need to call.
Love you guys.

"Cry, cry and cry...
Tears are there to protect your heart.
When tears finally run dry, your heart will be calm and quiet.
Feeling clear inside,
You will be left with the transpicuous sense of being blessed with life.
So, look for beautiful things around you,
And you will find a hope, a hope to move on."

Please accept my condolences and feel comfort in knowing that
he waited along time to join Janet and I know he is happy where he is at.
Terry Darling-Koper and family
