Not sure what to say?

The blow was great,the shock severe,
little did I know
the end was near,
only those who have lost
can know and tell,
the pain of parting without farewell.
Friends may think
the wound is healed,
but little they know,
what great sorrow I feel.

One month ago tonight at 7:23 P.M. my Brother passed away. In an instant he was gone. The call came at 6:18..."I'm sorry to have to tell your Brother just passed away". It is one of the saddest days of my life. You...

My Uncle Bob; What a "WONDERFUL WONDERFUL UNCLE"!! It was so much fun sitting around Mom and Dad's table at holiday dinners with him, he always made us laugh. Such a winning personality, always happy, cheerful and that beautiful "Smile" just lit up the whole room!! Ever so often he would stop by the house, and give me and the girls one of his famous "Bear Hugs". "Loved those Hugs" His loving ways will forever be etched in my memory. What a joy is was to have him for an Uncle, we were so...

Dave, Zach, and I send our condolences and are very sorry for the loss of Bob so unexpectedly. Whenever I hear Bob's name, I picture his smiling face since that's how he greeted people and made you feel welcome. I know he will be missed by a lot of special people and our prayers are with you.

It is never easy to lose a loved one, especialy a husband and a brother. But we know that death is but a sleep and according to Ephesians 5:14 Jesus says,"Awake you who sleep,Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." We have this promise that you will see Robert again on the great ressurection morning when Jesus will call his people home to be with him forever. May God be with you and continue to comfort you until He comes.

Bob Kent was my Beloved Cousin! He was more like a brother than a cousin. I cherish our times together and I am left with wonderful precious memories of a beautiful christian man. You are sadly missed.

Your Special Cousin
Pam

It has been 2 1/2 weeks since my brother passed away and the grief is almost more than I can bear. I am thankful both Bob and I know that God is there to help guide me through these sad sad times. Sometimes when I am thinking of him it's as though my breath is being sucked away. He will forever be loved, in my mind, my thoughts, and my prayers. It was my privilage to be "Bob Kent's Sis" You will forever be a special part of me. I pray that I will have the opportunity to be with you and other...

It was a pleasure knowing you,
and our condolences to you and your family, Janet.
Bob, and Rob

When we would come through the door at work, Forrest was the first person we would see. He always wore a smile, and would say, Welcome Home, with an impish grin. You are home, Forrest. We will miss you greatly.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
