I'll always remember my cousin Bobby as the quiet one, the gentle one, the kind one. He had a keen sense of humor, and when he laughed, his whole face lit up. I'm sorry he had to suffer these past few years. I send my love and prayers for peace and healing to Judy, Katy, and Richie. I will be with you in spirit at Bobby's funeral on Tuesday.
