Years ago when `there were wolves in Wales´ and I was a young no nothing priest I was fortunate to share many good times with the DeVoursne family. I have fond memories of Bob and all the family. I am grateful to have known Bob and shared a slice of life with him years ago. I hold the memories close.

Bob, may the wind be at your back and the sun on your face to warm you and may all gone before welcome you home. May the Blessed Mother welcome you and present you to her Son, Jesus Christ. May Jesus take you to Almighty God who will embrace you and say, `Welcome home, Bob, welcome home. Your life was a `good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over´. Amen. Fr.Pat Cawley
