Im deeply sorry that you've lost your beloved father and grandfather. I hope that the memories you've been able to cherish with him stay in your heart to keep you strong. Know too that God is listening to your cries of sadness and for comfort and He will give you what you ask for. (2 Chronicles 6:29,30) My sincerest sympathies.

It has been my privilege to have known Bob Adams for over 70 years. After going through Metairie High School and going through college and beyond, it has been a great adventure. Our daughters, Adriana and Bettina were roughly about the same age as his two. We wish you a happy hereafter as you rejoin Marlene.

My dear Uncle Bob ... I've known you all my life. You were a good husband to my Aunt Marlene, a good and caring father to Melissa and Rebecca and always kind and thoughtful. You always were happy to give good helpful advice on money matters that I admired and respected and you were always pleasant and friendly and ready to lend a helping hand. When you were younger you always helped my Grandparents with their property. I know my Aunt is happy and complete with you now by her side once again. May God Bless you Uncle Bob and keep you close to his side; I know your family and many friends will miss you dearly as CJ and I will. Love, Ellen & CJ
