Bob Padilla Jr.

Dear Carol,
Mr. Padilla was my shop teacher at LHS and one of the best teachers I had there. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." You will see him again, because those who are "in Christ" never die, but have everlasting life. God bless and keep you in His amazing grace.

Hi Carol, We were Bellah Ave. friends in Lindsay and I was in high school at LHS when Bob began his carrer. The last time I saw both of you was at a reunion. I want to express my sympathy to you and your family members. God Bless You.

I know I can learn from the love the two of you shared, as I am just starting out in my marriage. Love you Carol and sending all my love and prayers to you and your family and to Bob. He had such a...

Dear Carol:
Because you are such a wonderful and bright person I know you will be able to face this life's transition with grace and strength. I am remembering the words to "Whispering Hope" that you, Anne & I sang as a trio, "Softly and tenderly...come home, come home to me." You are blessed with a family who will be your continued comfort and support. Love to you and your family.
