My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I did not know Bob, but Kloei and Ali are my nieces. The two of them told me several stories of their grandpa. I know the girls will miss their grandpa, but he is no longer suffering, he is in a better place.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
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.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
