To my extended family. May the Lord bless you all. My love and prayers are with you constantly. My thoughts are continuous. I know the Lord tenderly holds the entire family in his bosom. May the Lord strengthen and encourage each of you daily is my prayer. Rest Papa Bob. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!
