Robert Arthur Whitaker

Aunt Clara,

You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I know that Bob is in a better place and not suffering anymore, and that gives me peace. You have been there for him and I know you will miss him dearly. If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know.
Love,
Michelle, Steve, Amanda, Jimmy & Logan

Bob, you were such a great part of my life, I will miss you dearly, You added another dimension to my being, which I had not known before. You are in a better place, we know that, I will always love you.

Bob was one of the nicest, kindest people I have known. I will miss him greatly, but will always remember the times that I got to spend with him. Occasionally I would take Bob to doctor's appointments and we seldom went straight home, choosing instead to take a detour or two through different parts of Jacksonville. Bob would tell me about his childhood and his most fond memories, like going to the beach and boardwalk when he was a kid. We would laugh and have a great time talking, in no hurry to get anywhere in particular. I loved those times that I got to know the truly kind-hearted soul that Bob was. It is through those happy memories that I will always remember him.

Bob was so sweet, gentle and kind that, even though we didn't know him well, we will miss him. Clara, we are so sorry for your loss but hope that your grief will be lessened by the love of your family and friends and the knowledge that Bob has gone to a better place, one without the suffering that he was living with. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we want you to call on us if there is anything at all that we can do for you.
