Not sure what to say?

Dear Elaine,
My sympathy and prayers to you and your family. Bob and I worked together for many years, and I had the benefit of enjoying his quirky sense of humor (which matched mine) on many a cold, dark Friday afternoon. Bob had the ability to put things in perspective,add that to his wit and compassion, and you have a friend who will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.

To the Cunningham Family,

I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing. Please accept my condolences and deepest sympathy for your loss.

We are greatful for Bob's life and love and wish comfort for all those who mourn.

Sincerely,

Elaine,
I cannot fully express to you how terribly sad I am for your loss. Bob was a uniquely gifted man. His sense of humor, insight, clarity of thinking that is so rare, and openness with me during so many meaningful conversations will all be enduring memories for me. This world is a better place because of his time here and is diminished by his passing. In the last email he wrote to me, he said, “I certainly have faith that the universes (and all else that has been created) are much...

To the Family:
May your memeories bring you comfort in the days and years to come. He will alway be with you.
With my deepest sympathies

I just wanted to let you know that I worked with Bob and he was a great person. When he retired I told him that I would miss talking to him on the phone. I'm so very sorry for your loss he was a very friendly man and he will be missed.

To the Cunningham family:

I am so sorry for your loss. Bob (aka Bobster or Mr. C as I refered to him) was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor. I was one of the lucky individuals who had a chance to not only work with him but know him as a person. I am thankful that I was able to see him not to long ago. Even in his weak condition, he did not hesitate and gave me a great big hug. I'll remember that hug always.

Peace be with your family during this difficult time.

Dear Elaine, Spencer, Kristen and Family:

I am so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. May the love that you shared with Bob remain forever in your hearts bringing you lasting peace and comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult and sad time.

Dear Elaine and family: Please accept my sympathy on Bob's death. I was unaware of his illness, which he told me about at Terry's reception after her funeral. Terry and Bob would meet at Hickey's deli as they were buying lunch for years. I wasn't aware that he also was a F.U. grad. Not many of us are blessed with the years our parents enjoyed. Love and sympathy to you and the children.
