Uncle Bob and Aunt Lu were totally made for each other and shared a life
Long love story that several couples today never see. I have tons of memories
From our Davis family Christmas and the home movies Uncle Bob shared with all.
I miss them both but rejoice knowing that they live together in heaven with the rest of our family who had gone before them. Just wish I had the opportunity to tell them what they meant to me.

Oh Lu, my good memories of you go way back to when we rode the same school bus. I always thought you were so pretty.

Sorry for your loss. I remember her being a co-worker at the Clinic. As soon as I saw her name I remember her kind and helpful personality. Again sorry for your loss.

Aunt Lu,
I have lots of great memories
with you and Uncle Bob. Your wedding being one of those special ones and also the visit to see your Florida home. The last few visits I
had with you in the nursing
home were not some of the
better times. I could see you
slipping away and suffering
in pain. . I did get to visit with your special friend Fred. I could see how
you enjoyed going to the car shows and to dinner with him. I was so happy when you
had someone to go with. He
brought you joy but that was
fine. You and Uncle Bob were
a match and I know he would
have agreed for you to find
joy once again. You have been reunited with Uncle Bob
now and other family. My parents were among those
greeting you when you entered Heaven's gates. I still miss them and my brother Steve every day. You
will be in good company there but so many shall miss you. No more pain, or suffering - may you rest in peace now and forever. Love
you
