Aunt Thora, Robbie, Pam and Lee, I am so sorry and saddened to hear about Uncle Bob's passing. What a "signature" smile he had! I can still hear him saying "Hi Pumpkin". I loved that. One of my best and fondest memories was the summer I took the train to Pamona, California and spent a couple of weeks with you before school started. It was my first time to Disneyland. I always wished we lived closer. We create great moments that become cherished memories that last forever. Uncle Bob lives on in each one of you. I hope your cherished memories bring you comfort when you need it the most. You are all in my thoughts and prayers always.

With Love and Hugs,
Debbie ( Pixton ) Welch
