Dear McFadden Family,
We offer you all our deepest sympathy, prayers and love at this difficult time in your lives. He is now at peace by Ruth's side. My husband and I and our children loved him very much and will never forget Bob and Ruth. She gave me a chain she crocheted to put on our tree which I still took out this year. He loved talking to our son Victor since he too was in the 101st Airborne. Every single year he gave us carved items, Orca whale, Santa Claus and many, many more.
Roland, Evelyn, Michelle, Bonnie and Victor.

Great Grandpa Bob. I love and miss you so much. You were a big part of my life and I have so many wonderful memories of being at your house when i was little with Great Grandma Ruth. You are in a better place right now with no more pain and I'm thankful for that. I know you're looking down on us right now and smiling with Grandma Ruth by your side.
I love you more than words could say!

Dear Jennette, Kevin and family,
My deepest sympathy to you for the passing of your Dad. May all the wonderful memories bring you peace at this time. I'm looking at the Santa he made for the staff and think of him every year as I put the decoration out. You are all in my prayers.
