Dear Aunty Karen and Cousins,

We were all so sad and surprised to hear of Uncle Bobby's passing. Dad had been keeping us updated about the whole family and so it was a shock for everyone, I'm sure. We love you all so much and loved the short times we were able to spend together at the family reunions. We always said the next would be on the West Coast. We all thought of Uncle Bobby as the fun uncle because he would always make us smile. I know Dad has really enjoyed visiting with him on the phone over the years. Remember we love you all and are praying for you. If any of you ever plan a trip out west, know that there are several places for you to bunk with the "West Coast Breys"

All our Love,

Tom, Janet, Eve and Sam Hannah

Dear Brey Family, was so sad to hear about Bob's passing when returning to work this week. But so glad to have spent the last week getting to know him and his wonderful family. Especially enjoyed chatting with him on Sunday night about the UP. Wishing all the best in this hard time to a wonderful family with a wonderful father and husband. -Ali, RN

Dear Karen and Family,
I am truly sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was a wonderful person, and an inspiration to me while I was growing up. I will always remember how he was the first in the neighborhood to help with anything that needed done. He was also my biggest, and perhaps the only fan of my 7th grade clarinet days, and reminded me of that often. Anyone who could muster anything nice to say about that has to have a golden heart. I am thankful that my parents have had the pleasure of your friendship. We will pray for you all during this difficult time.

Bob will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He and his family will be in my prayers. I was just telling my son a couple of weeks ago that Bob and Karen are one of the greatest couples that I know. What a perfect role model for all of those grandchildren.

Dear Karen, and Family,
How we loved Bob, He always had that wonderful smile and the nicest things to say. He was a great cook and made a good manhattan, too. We loved him and will miss him. We hate being so far away but we will be praying with you in spirit.
