2017..I still miss you daily and I come from Florida back to Michigan this week, it is still sad when you aren't here.
Thank you for 50 years of wonderful memories that keep me going day to day.

Judy,
Thinking of you and still hurt for your loss.
I know that you grow daily in the Lord, and YES.....you WILL see Bobby again one day. May God bless and keep you every minute of every day. I love you, my friend.

Another July and August of memories are here. Your birthday, last trip to the cottage with Dick and Rita, going to ER, 3 weeks sitting by your bed praying for a miracle. The Woodward Cruise is coming up and it was going on your last week, as well as 2 other years when you were in for surgeries. Reminders. I miss you so much and just hate that you aren't able to enjoy these grandkids with me. So often one of them will say or do something reminding me of that. Save a place for me..I will be there soon.

You'll forever be that 18-year old good-lookin' kid in my mind's eye, Bobby. I'm thankful that you and Judy had so many years of loving each other, enjoying your kids, grandkids, and sharing your life here together. God surely made you for each other, and I pray He's with Judy every single minute of every day until you're together again!

Thinking of you this week as June 3rd is coming up and I will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary "all in my head".. That is an inside joke if anyone else is reading this.
Coming to Florida this year again is bittersweet. There are so many great memories here, just like in Michigan or wherever I go..but I always expect the pain of missing you so much, so badly to wear off each time..though it never does. It does get some easier but that first week of pain is just as intense as ever.
This year I can see Mom's health declining and so wish you were here with us. I could always lean on you, and your relationship with her was so special. She had "mothered" you since you were 18 years old. You two enjoyed watching TV together..Wheel and Jeopardy trying to outdo each other, as well as "Murder She Wrote". Now she won't watch TV at all, and now I watch it more..since I don't have you and do have the remote..ha
The kids were down this spring and we missed your silliness, love, and fun times with grandkids, riding the golf cart, playing shuffleboard, and swimming.
David and Mary have really been a blessing to me this year, helping me in so many ways, since Mom has been ill. You have a "Good Big Brother".
I love you, talk to you, fuss at you, and sleep on your side of the bed..and always will.

As I have been having some updates done to our house in Michigan I think of you and wishing you could be here to enjoy them. I can see you doing all of our repairs and how handy you always were at keeping things up.
Words can never say just how much I miss you and would love to be able to tell you myself instead of always whispering it to you.
On Thanksgiving, I was thankful for our life, our kids, Mom, and my wonderful memories but really I wanted a hug in person.
My love for you continues to grow in death, just as my love for the Lord does. Judy

Messages from 2008 and 2009 that never made it to this book. At Christmas 2008 all of our kids and their families came to Florida to join Mom and I and we went on a three day Carnival cruise. The grandkids had a wonderful time with the new experience, as did some of our kids had never gone before. Kyle and Jeremy were the only ones unable to come. After the cruise we went over to the beach for a couple days to ride the waves, just like our Myrtle Beach days and the rafts. You would have really enjoyed the memories and watching it all. Then in April 2009 Mark brought Andrew, Kylie, and Ryan down for a week and we had a good time with them. He was a brave soul driving alone with three kids. Tom has stopped in a few times for quick visits, a shower, wash clothes and get a meal. A few times he even got a fishing pole in the water. This March 2010, Pam and the girls came for about 10 days. We went to a Tigers game and I thought of our times doing that. I watched the Final Four Basketball, as well as the Olympics, and that wasn't the same without you. We all miss you so much and so often talk about all of our wonderful memories and what a great dad and husband you were. I love you.

I miss you so very much my dear Bob. It has been a very cold Florida winter and I miss you keeping my cold feet warm. It seems that every day I find a new way to appreciate you and our life together. I am so very thankful for our many wonderful years together and that we loved each other so much..therefore making great memories for me now.
Laura made me a DVD with a song by Matthew West with the title "Save a Place for Me" and I sing that song to you often. I just told her that I want it played at my funeral. She did quite a nice tribute to you with her video.
We just celebrated your brother's birthday yesterday. He got a new wagon for his mulch and other yard work..and if you were here, I am sure you'd have him pulling you around in it.

Well it is now March, and I have written two different times about the Christmas cruise we went on and have lost the whole entry as I was adding photos to it. I guess it wasn't supposed to be...I started to write on Valentine's Day to say how very much I missed our sharing this day. Then thought I'd best do the Christmas entry before doing the Feb. one. Now I can remember with a smile that we are into your dreaded part of the year..March.. when 4 of our 6 immediate family birthdays were all smashed up there together in about a three week span..and I can almost hear you saying it.
It has been the coldest winter in Florida this year since we started coming down..but so very cold in Michigan...with record snowfall.
I miss Bob in new ways daily it seems, and know it will continue to be this way for a long time. College basketball will be starting soon, and I am not near up on the teams as I normally am by now... Tom came by today and took your golf clubs out of the shed, lost a few more golf balls, and as he rode off on the cart, I felt a real sadness that you two didn't get to share more of these times together. I know that we enjoyed the times last year when he could stop in for a few hours to visit with us, and he got to shower and do a load of laundry while we visited instead of paying to do it at the truck stop.
I am so very thankful that we have memories, as all the everyday actions become so precious....Let us all enjoy each day.

We made it through Thanksgiving with many things to be thankful for. I am so glad we have such happy memories of previous years with our family. I am enclosing a photo today of our last Thanksgiving with Jerry, and Bob's family at that time. Proof we should enjoy each day, as we never know when it might be our last, or the last of one of our loved ones. At this time I would like to thank each person reading this, for whatever part you have played in our life...Judy

Tonight it was three months since Bob has been gone, and it just seems unbelieveable that time is just flying by. Last night the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Hospice had a Thanksgiving Memorial Service at the main hospital chapel. Pam, Mom and I went for the service and met with and talked to the Social worker and the Minister who had been with us on 4 G that last 8 days. I feel so blessed that I have spent the past 48 Thanksgiving Day's with Bob and have a whole memory bank full of wonderful times.

Judy & Family,
I have tried and tried to make an entry in this book. I will try again... Everyone has touched upon what a Godly man Bob was, that was so easy to see. Those of us that were blessed to call him "our Buddie" knows that every single good word written about him is true, he was just as he seemed. Over the years we have watched him open his home to those in need, we've watched as he loaded the van with kids and run them around the country, we watched as our grandchildren were born and grew together, we saw a wonderful husband who loved & cherished his wife & children, Bob went yearly to family reuinons in WV. for both his family and Judy's family, family was an important part of Bob's life. He opened his home to Judy's mom when she needed it, (maybe that one doesn't count because she spoiled him) He moved a family of snakes out of Marion's shed, only because we didn't want to TOUCH THEM, now that is a true friend! He also spent hours in his pole barn helping Marion to put a cover on his tractor so he wouldn't freeze plowing snow. Of course Bob got to take it for the first test drive.
Bob was not only our "buddie" but our "vacation buddie", our Friday night "dinner buddie" and of course Marion's "shoe shopping buddie."
We have been blessed to have shared many moments in both our families lives with Bob, Judy & their children. We have laughed together, we have cried together & laughed again. Whatever one of us was doing the others were not far behind. We've been in several states together & so many countries we can't recall their names. Are you beginning to understand? We have a void in our lives, along with so many others, that will NEVER be filled.
We KNOW where Bob is, but that does not make us less lonely. We are rejoicing that he is with Rob & all those gone before him. Yes, we will see him again some day, even though our heads understand that, our hearts still feel the pain. You were a good man Bob Childers, & you are sadly missed. We thank you for sharing your life & each of your family members with us. We are blessed that they will remain in our lives as you remain in our hearts.
We're sure you were greeted in heaven with " Well Done My Good And Faithful Servant."

Thank you for sharing this book that portrays what wonderful chrisitian man Bob was. We know that your heart swells with pride when you read all the wonderful sentiments expressed by so many about what a great christian he was as well as a loving friend. No one will ever take his place and the world is a better place for his having been with us.

~DEATH~ WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT.. was shared with me by e-mail in June 2008
A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, 'Doctor, I am afraid to die.
Tell me what lies on the other side.' Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.'
'You don't know? You, a Christian man, Do not know what is on the other side?'
The doctor was holding the handle of the door. On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining. As he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, 'Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing...
I know my Master is there and that is enough.

September 24, 2008
We have added two trees to our yard in Michigan in Bob's memory. It was a real family affair getting them here and planted. Mom and I went to Bordine's and picked them out. Pam and I went back to pick them up later and they were too long for her truck. Scott went back with his truck and trailer and brought them to our house on Saturday afternoon. Mark, Kylie, Ryan, and Andrew were here with Mom and I when Mark got both of them dug, planted, and watered in no time. Then Miss Maggie proceeded to go roll and dig all around the base of the tree in the wet dirt, just as she had done by our driveway in Plant City...and required another bath..but she never seems to remember that part.

Memories of Bobby
by little sister, Judy Childers Adkins
read at the funeral service
I have had the good fortune of being blessed with three older, loving, protective brothers. David and Jerry were married and gone but Saturday morning fights over who’s turn it was to watch cartoons and whose to watch westerns were Bobby and me for years. He was known for rolling up a dish towel and flipping me, mom, Aunt Vada and Aunt Virgie, dragging me into the ocean with mom warning him not to drown me, chasing mom and I through the house with a green snake are the few memories I have of growing up with Bobby. Sometimes they would let me ride around with our cousin Kathryn, him and Judy when they started dating.
A quiet, generous loving Christian husband, father, brother-in-law, uncle, son-in-law, grandfather, brother and friend are the memories I share today.
I always admired how Bob and Judy were so close with not only their children but the extended family they shared with their children’s friends. This can be seen in many of the pictures we’ve seen. Everyone was always welcomed into their home. They were even generous enough to welcome the friends of our children when we came to visit. We shared many happy memories of graduation open houses, weddings, birthdays and the births of their grandchildren. Their yard was home to many picnics and softball games.
He has many friends as we have witnessed by those of you who have visited in the hospital, sent food, flowers, cards, made phone calls to ask about him offering prayers and words of comfort, and you all here today who came to share our sorrow for the void that will be left without our beloved Bob. Thank you for caring.
Bob was also a fighter! He has fought a tough battle these last few years. As much as we will miss him, we can only be comforted by the fact that he will no longer face that pain and suffering. We love and miss you, Bobby!

Judy and family,
Our thoughs and prayers continue to be with all of you. Bob was such a wonderful man and we do miss him at Auburn Hills. His kind, gentle way will always be remembered by those of us who knew him and his example of one who walked "through the valley of the shadow of death" with great confidence and assurance will never be forgotten. I know he found strength and comfort assembling with us for worship and we found encouragement and inspiration in his doing so. We know there were times it was difficult for him, but he always came with a smile. And Judy, we'll always remember your steadfast love for Bob and the constant care you gave him. We love all of you! Please call on us if we can help in any way. Richard & Sandra (Auburn Hills, Michigan)

It is hard to believe it has now been a month since you have been gone from us. We miss you so very much.
We are going to keep this site open for all of our family and friends to add memories, photos, and share lots of our good times with each other. I tried loading a picture on to see if it was hard..and it was very easy..so let us all share together.
Dutton's went out to the cemetery today and the marker is set. They sent us a picture on their cell phone..so I will try loading it on here to see if it works. We have gotten two Bradford Pear trees to plant here in our yard in Bob's memory with some donations sent in, and hopefully can share a picture of it soon.

Aunt Judy and all,
You know I felt Uncle Bob's good work through the guidance of God the very day he passed. We had been praying for months about Ryan's (my Ryan) placement once he turned 18, and that very day we received a call that the ideal place (which we had been assured would not be available for at least 6 months) had a bed available for him in less than a week. God works in mysterious ways!
Oma and you once told me that God listens when we talk to him, and he talks to us in return, we just need to know how to listen. If I'm understanding him correctly, he's letting us know that Uncle Bob is with him and already hard at work watching out for us.
I love and miss you guys.
