Not sure what to say?

Even though I never met you, I heard of you so often. You were always a part of our family, not only through blood of ancestors, but because of the blood of the Lamb.
I pray that the Lord bless all of you who were hurt by "Little Bob's" passing, but please know that Doug, Stephen, Jared, and I are all thinking and praying for you all. His grace is sufficient. We love you and wish we were closer so we could help you carry your burdens.
Love Always,
Doug, Becky, Stephen, and Jared...

Dear Little Bob,

You have never been ‘little’ in character. You have always been a giant example of contentment.

Little Bob, it's been sooooo many years since I last saw you. We're cousins! You might not remember me, but I remember you. We are very close in age - I'm just 2 months older than you.

My Mom was your Aunt Mildred and we lived in Clinton, MA. Thank you for all the happy memories from days long gone by. My heart and prayers are with...

Edward;
My sincere condolences, I'm sure Bob will find the peace he so surely deserves.

Uncle Bob, we're going to miss you. You're in my thoughts and I'll be missing you at the Christmas Party. I keep thinking about the time I visited you with Aunt Kathy. I wish I visited more than that one time. I'm glad you had Aunt Kathy to spend time with you, and read to you, and care for you.
I hope you're in peace where you are and again, we'll all miss you.
