The day you had your sunset and flew with the angels happened on my wedding Anniversary therefore my heart skips a beat for you. When I go out to mow I still glance across the yard and envision you mowing too. You have your headset on and wave a hand and share a soft warm smile as we buzz along.I can close my eyes and see you walking up to my door while I'm in the yard, saying hi Jillie. I think about the night you stood in the dining room and shared your first born son's name, Oliver. I cried out, I love that name! It's Ryan O'Neils name in the movie "Love Story". You laughed. I still feel your presence as I walk through my yard and I hope I will all the days of my life, until we meet again. Love you Bob as many always will.

So often when in my yard I think of you Bob. Your sweet smile and wave of a hand as you took care of your moms lawn. I see your warm eyes in your children. Amazing how we live in them. I will always remember the day you went to fly high with the angels as it is my wedding anniversary. In our hearts you will never be forgotten. XXOO until we meet again. The Young family
