I miss you Dad. I miss your love and understanding. I miss those sudden bursts of energy you would get and start a project in the house. I would come home from school or work and search for my bedroom because it moved to another room. LOL. Gosh we had such a great life due to you and Mom. I tried to repeat it with my children. It was so lame comparing to what I had but, I know I tried. Your grandchildren are doing well. Grown and thriving! You were right, God got me through. But, I think you had a big hand in it to. By the way, I am still cancer free! I could write forever but please know, you are the best , gentle, caring, loving, and the funniest guy at the party any where we went. I love you. I miss you and I will be ready for a hug and long Saturday coffee morning bending your ear once again. Till then.....

To the Poitras Family, I am so saddened to hear of the loss of your Dad. Bob was our neighbor for quite a few years. He was very fond us and of my children as we were him, they still visited him often when they were in town. My deepest sympathies to you all. He was an outstanding man, and he will be greatly missed. My Thoughts and Prayers are with you all. Rest in Peace Bob, you're with your beautiful wife now.

The Poitras Family,
My deepest sympathy to each and every one of you on your loss. It was just brought to my attention today that your dad passed on July 22. For some strange reason I have all week been flooded with thoughts of your parents and your family as a whole. I must add that all those thoughts were of many fond memories. Your parents as well as each of you treated me as though I was a daughter/sister. I know that beside God being Number 1 in their lives, their family is what was most important to them. They were both truly model parents which is most commedable. Although I am no longer close with all of you, I just want you to know that I often think of each of you. And although your dad has now passed, I believe in my heart that he is quite happy to now be with your mom. My love to each of you.
