Uncle Bob, Even though I didn't get a chance to see you often, the memories of the times I did spend with you (and Aunt Arlene) were wonderful. The memories in PCB and the "way back" memories will be cherished forever. You will be missed by many! Give Aunt Arlene and my mom a "hug and kiss" from me. Goodbye - rest in peace - till we all meet again! Love Ya, Renee'

Dad, You fought a brave battle and I never wanted to give up hope that we could win!! Unfortunatly only you knew how tired you were and that heaven was calling your name. You are finally reunited with Mom and we will all join you one day. I will miss you terribly but cherish everthing you taught me to be and all the wonderful times we had together. I couldn't have asked for a better Dad. I will think of you everyday and Love you forever. Linda
