I am sending a copy of the eulogy to Sissi to have for the family. Contact me if anyone else might want a copy.
I cannot, and never will, be able to completely say everything I would want about my Uncle Bob. So I will leave it with this: Being with the people around him that he wanted by his bedside was a great comfort except for the the pain that is left from the piece of my heart he took with him. It is truly OK though. That part of my heart has always been his. My love forever.
