Dear Bob, we miss you so much. We can't believe that we won't get to see you again. We had such a wonderful last visit with you in May. Hours of wonderful conversation on your patio with you and Diane. We will miss your
humor. You made us laugh and be happy. We will miss your gentleness.
We will miss your hugs. Remembering all the fun trips with you and Diane, our family trip to Nantucket...words can never express all that we will miss about you, Bob. Love forever, Cindy and Gene

Dad, I was listening to the Beatles tonight and started crying thinking of you. There is one song by them you'll know for sure, we'll play it at your wake/celebration at my request. You've always meant so much to me and you always will. A still small voice whispered that you are with Gayle and Anne and your sisters now.

One by one their seats were emptied.
One by one they went away.
Now the family is parted.
Will it be complete one day?
Will the circle be unbroken?

See you there, Dad.

Im so sorry. The pain is awful I know. My husband passed last year. The pain gets easier to bare with time and God.

Dear Bob,
I never knew how much I would miss you. I wanted you to be relieved of your misery but, babe, it is so hard. I love you more than you ever knew and finding all the wonderful things you kept about us since our first date and all the valentine and anniversary cards you kept from me, I've fallen in love with you all over again. Love forever, Diane
