Joyce,

Bob has been such a special man to us, I can only imagine the extra special man he is to you. We have all been tremendously blessed by knowing Bob. We can only try to live our lives with the Christian spirit and dignity Bob brought to all of us every day. He has left his footprints on our hearts. We will miss him and we will keep you in our prayers...our deepest sympathy to you.

Dear Joyce

Words cannot express the sadness I felt in learning of Bob's passing. He was the first person to welcome my family to Asbury Church and it was because of his warm welcome that we became members. I know Bob will be remembered for his genuine kindness and concern for all, especially the youth at church. Please extend my deepest sympathies to Bob Jr, Pam, Larry, Mary and the rest of the family. I am sorry I can't attend the services as I will be out of town. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. My family has been blessed to have had such a special relationship with Bob. Love, Debbie

To Joyce - May all your amazing and loving memories help you at this difficult time. You hold such an incredibly special place in my heart I cannot begin to tell you, and you are in my prayers always. These are the times that the love and sympathy cannot be expressed as they are just too big for words.
