Dear Missy, Been thinking of you and your family and wanted to extend my sympathies to all of you. Death is a hard thing to bear. No amount of preparation will ease the grief. I was sorry to hear of Gilbert's suffering in his last days. Must have been doubly hard for you. At least you have some peace now. I hope the coming days will open the way to fruitful endeavors for you. Love to all, Bob

Even though I rarely saw Uncle Gilbert, he always had kind and uplifting words. We would always talk about the years past and he wished I could stay in touch with him. He loved his family dearly as seen in every word he spoke about them. Years have come and gone so swiftly that it is so hard to comprehend this day has come. Uncle Gilbert was there for my mom, brother and me when his brother, our dad passed away too early. I have and always held that dear to my heart. I talked to him a few months back and we were going to make plans to get together but unfortunately I waited to late. I love you Uncle Gilbert and will miss knowing you are no longer physically present in this world. I love you Aunt Mary Jewel. My prayers are with you and all your family in this time of your grief.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn," strengthen you during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1, 2.
