You have my deepest condolences and I want you to know that my thoughts are with you. I will always remember Uncle Bob and his hearty laugh and smile. I really appreciate everything he did to help Momma after Dad passed away. He was a kind man with a good heart. He will be missed by many. I regret that I am unable to come back for the funeral; however, my thoughts will be with you.
