Not sure what to say?

Dear Nella and family,
We were shocked and saddened to learn of your loss this morning. We remember Bob and his gentle disposition and laugh even though we've been away from Lynden over 12 years. He has certainly created a legacy of faith in his family! Our prayers are with you as you say an earthly goodbye to a wonderful man.

Dear Nella and Family,
So sorry to hear about Bob's passing. May God give you all the strength to go through this difficult time.
You were our neighbors about 39 years ago on the Guide. You invited us in your home when the electricity was out for a couple of days and it was very cold. My daughter lives in Bell. and told me about Bob. My husband and I live now in Chilliwack, B.C.

Bob was a wonderful, caring man. I have very fond memories of him during my high school years where I spent many, MANY hours at your home. He was always kind. Always very patient with us giggling girls! He has left an amazing legacy! His faith was incredible. I feel honored to have known him.
Praying for your family often. Much love to you from the Likkels. (Ryan, Traci, Samuel, Maxwell and Jackson)

Nella and family Sad for you folks in Bob's passing however I know Bob is in heaven with Erwin and Gerald. I will never forget the games of horse we would play at the old mash plant while I was unloading molasses. He always called me Curtie which bugged me but I never said anything. I just named all my kid's to end in N to avoid that. Bob was a wonderful partner and loved by all.

Nella and family, So sad to hear of Bob's passing. Back when I worked with him at F.G., we shared many a laugh and good times. He was just an all-around great guy with a strong faith, and will be missed dearly. Our prayers go with you.
