To Bunny, Bobby's children, grandchildren and family, please accept our deepest condolences.
Bobby was truly a nice man and so easy to talk to like Reggie found when we were in Richmond last year. My most unforgettable memory of Bobby was back when you two came to Waterbury, CT, around 1974 or so, to pick Titia, Rochelle and I up and take us back to Richmond. Unfortunately, the car broke down after it got dark outside and we had to be towed. Bobby stayed so cool while the hillbilly looking, snuff dipping mechanics lied about not having the part he needed to get us out of there. But more important than the car problem, be bought us grape soda's, the best flavor ever. With his knowledge of the car and his coolness, I wasn't worrying about getting back to Richmond.
May God give you strength.

I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was truly one of the "old school" undertakers, professional,meticulous, and compassionate in every way. I remember him during our days in embalming school, always dressed to the nines.I extend my utmost sympathy to his family during this difficult time, and may God offer you comfort and peace.Requiescat in pace.

TO the Brunson family...I just recently found out that 'Pop Brunson' had gone on to be with our Heavenly Father. Terry & Robert, you know I love you both and my heart goes out to you. We all know that dad is in a much better place and that he is at absolute peace. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I will be seeing you soon....1love

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Bobby, the most gentle spirit, kind hearted and winning personality of any relative a person could have. I am proud to say he was my cousin-in-law. I never heard a negative comment pass his lips. He was always positive, no matter how low he was, and uplifting to others, no matter how low they were. He was a wonderful son, grandson, husband, father, grandfather, nephew and friend to everyone. My family and I will always miss his warm smile and sensitive nature...Bobby was the best.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
