I was 13 years old when Bobby was born and I held him when he was very small. I spent a lot of time with the Wetzel's, his grandparents, also with Tim and Colleen Stevens. I am very sad to hear he left us for a better place. We should not be selfish and expect younger people than us to leave this world so soon. I am not going to sign this, Bobby will know who this is. I will miss a fellow Friendship Fire Co. member.

Dad,
I will never forget coming home as a young little girl and so excited to tell you I just came from the fire hall and I was positive I seen “the real Santa Claus” because his belly was real and his cheeks were rosy and you smiled from ear to ear and told me; yes, you believed I did indeed see the real Santa Claus. You were way too young to leave us but I have peace in knowing where you are. Please give grandma and all those we miss a kiss for me in heaven. I love you. -Forever your little girl
