Dear Janie, Tommy, Amy, and Mandy,
It was with a heavy heart that I learned of Bob's passing. He was always a favorite of mine and he was such a strong and gentle spirit. The love that you shared will surely be your strength as you go forward. Please let the kids know that they are in our thoughts and prayers and if there were words that could lessen their grief, we would send them. Janie, you are such a caring and wonderful mother that I am certain that together your hearts will shine again in love and remembrance of Bob. Know that I am thinking of you with much love.
Karen, Mike, and Kevin

To Janie and your family;
I was so sorry to see that Dr Bean had died--I took care of him on several of his visits to U of L and truly enjoyed visiting with him. He had a very upbeat attitude towards his disease, and we all hoped and prayed his treatments would be a success. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Janie, I am so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I can't imagine the grief and quite possible emotional exhaustion you may feel after the last few months
of sadness and loss. So many things are beyond both our control and understanding.
May God be your strength, Friend, advocate, and refuge. May He demonstrate His Presence in very visible ways for you at this time. My heart is with you. Love, Cousin Beth in MI

Dear Janie and Bean Family,
Just wanted to tell you how fortunate I am to have had an opportunity to know Bob. He was one of few individuals I have met who was so knowledgable about so many subjects. Also, a pleasure to talk with and a very gracious individual. Diane and I grew fond of Bob and family during our trips to Newburgh. We will miss him.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Janie, Hope to see you next trip.

God Bless,

Laurie and Greg's Dad/Dad-in-Law,

Bob was Such a Special, Amazing & Outgoing Gentleman, and I know HE going to be Deeply missed, by all who knew him! My Prayers are with you!

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there

I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glint on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the gentle autumn rain

do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not there

I did not die

God just took another angel home!
