I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My sincere condolences on the loss of this wonderful, big hearted man. He lived life to the fullest and will live on through his adult children, grandchildren and great grandchildren...... What a legacy ! I'm pretty sure Bob was a regular customer at Smith's Pharmacy back in the day, coming in to laugh at Harold's daily jokes. He may have dug our family's foundation. How blessed you are to enjoy this long life well lived.

Dear Butch, Mary, Richard and all the family,
I was saddened to read of your Dad's passing and you are all in my thoughts. What an accomplished guy.
With my deepest sympathy for your loss,
Nancy
