Not sure what to say?

see ya Uncle Bo. thanks for being you and being a part of my life.

Aunt Patty I think we discussed this once but I'll say it again - a person is to us the memories we create with them. Those memories and so too does the person, live on with us our entire lives. So we must mourn not for the person as we did not lose them. Instead we can mourn for our own loss to make new memories and must celebrate our loved one that lives on in our heart.

You both are worthy of great...

Mrs.Downs,
I was so sorry to hear about your great loss. It was a true pleasue to have met you both. I admired your true love and strength. You will be in my prayers.

I worked with Mike Downs at DEH Mechanical and met Robert and Pat for the first time at our Christmas party. It was a pleasure sitting next to them and having a friendly conversation during diner. I know all who knew him, will miss him. I pray especially for Pat and all the family. Take comfort in the fact that he has gone home and you will see him again.
Love,
Ruth Ann
