Robert J. Powers

Well Dad, your graduation day came sooner than we all expected. I was kind of hoping you would flunk the final exam, but I guess the Lord needed you now. You can't imagine how much I miss you, especially lunch time every day. I have nothing but wonderful memories and you will be in my heart forever. I know how happy you were when John and I told you we were getting married, and you were with us on our wedding day in our hearts. Things will never be the same here without you, but I know I...

Daddy, I know you longed to be where you are, and I am consoled by that, as is Mommy. We are at peace knowing you are with God. Please save a seat for me next to you, OK? I will be taking over your Weather Watcher duties as I promised you, so please make it easy for me and ask God to lay off the snow over here a bit! I love you and miss you unbelievably. Please watch over us, and I know we will see you again some day. I love you.

Papa,

I still cant believe your gone.. I know how long you've waited to meet God. And now you've gotten to see what Heavens like! Make sure you have that orchestra ready for when Mimi comes to join you! We all miss you so much.. But I miss you like crazy. Its just not the same without you here. I know now though that I have my own personal angel to watch over me. I miss your hugs and our talks, but I know I'll get to see you again some day... and Im looking forward to it.....

Sarah,

I am so sorry for your loss. But now your Papa and Russ have the absolute best view of all those constellations! How lucky they are!

One day, we will again see those who have gone before us, Sarah, and what a wonderful day that will be.

May the love you shared with your Papa and the many warm and wonderful memories you have of times spent with him, keep him always near. Love you, Sweetie.

Sarah, I am so sorry, I know how close you were with your grandfather.

Alice, Frank and Family -
Please know that you are in our thoughts. "Graduated" to heaven - what a wonderful phrase.
Ed, Kelly Ann and Ainsley

There are so many wonderful memories and good times to rememeber with Uncle Bob. He was the most kindest, gentlest man I have ever known. The love he showed to everyone was endless. He will be sorely missed by all of us. May you rest in peace Uncle Bob and watch over us from up above.

My Condolences to the family and friends of Robert Powers are sincerely given here. I knew Mr. Powers only through his granddaughter Sarah, but the few times I enjoyed his company he was warm and fully gracious. His love and friendship with his wife, whom I know only as "Mimi," was obvious, and enviable. May God grant all of you strength during this time, and my prayers are with you.
