Dear Lori & Laura - wish we were there to give you both big hugs. I'll always remember when Bob got his ear pierced for his birthday and the grin he had on his face when I asked him about it. It was just one of many times he made me laugh. Keyn still has a bottle that Bob gave him several years ago, and we think of him every time we see it. With many fond memories -

Mrs. Benham, Denise and Lori,
I am in shock. I just learned from Carlotta that Mr. Benham passed away. I can barely see what I am typing as my eyes well up with tears. I have thought of you and Mr. Benham often over the years and ask about you when Lori and I communicate, which is not often enough. I've always thought that you and Mr. Benham were a wonderful example of the perfect couple - the best of friends who respected and loved each other. I see your old house on my way to...

Dear Laura & Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray that all your memories will bring you peace.
I don't know if you remember, Laura, but Bob was responsible for piercing my ears when I turned 16. I don't remember how it came about, but my mom and dad brought me to your house, I think, and Bob whittled the end of the earrings I was going to wear, to a point. Drew X's on my earlobes (in blue ink), placed an ice cube behind my ear and pushed the earring through. ...

Laura and family.
I was so lucky to be able to revisit knowing Bob when he came back from TX and showed up at Ash Grove Healthcare where I work! I met your family many golden moons ago in the 1970's so was blessed to see his love shine with the resident's at Ash Grove. We will dearly miss him and I hope to see you again someday! May the Blessings Be!

When I reflect on Bob and Laura, I think of them as one spirit...love, laughter, giving and a treasure of friendship. Both being ECK clerics, I met them as Winter Texans about 10 years ago at an ECK Worship Service.

Bob and Laura are the reason we are settled here in MO. We had such a great time meeting you at Paul's and thank you for helping us to make our home here in Missouri. Bob was such a help to Jim in setting up the farm and both of you are precious to us. Our hearts ache with yours, but our memories are wonderful. Thank you both for being such a part of our lives.
