Bob,
You are an amazing person and I can't believe this happened so fast. I love you dearly like you were family, and it breaks my heart to know that you're no longer with us. But, I am glad to know that you are no longer suffering and you are among the Angels now. Another star in the night sky. Love you lots xoxo.
