Betty, Cheryl and family-
I was very sorry to read about the loss of Bob. I loved reading about the full life he enjoyed with Betty.Our time here is fleeting and we all need people like Bob to show us how to make the most of every minute.It brought back a lot of memories reading the synopsis of Bob's life and the notes left by friends and loved ones.Betty my thoughts are with you.I still love y' all even though it has been way too many years since we have seen each other! Deb

ALL OUR THOUGHT ARE WITH YOU & YOUR FAMILY.IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HAVE KNOWN HIM. OUR PRAYES ARE WITH YOU. LOVE YOU GENE & MARIE DAVIS GOD BLESS YOU ALL

So sad when I heard of your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all!

I have so many fond memories of both Bob and Marty throughout my "growing up" years, and I wish I could have been there for you both last week. Marty, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know that Bob is in a much happier place, and as Dad says, "looking for some biscuits and gravy!!" I love you and miss you so...Kristi Weaver

LOve,

Jim Weaver
