Debbie & Tom, I am so sorry to read of your brother, Bob's passing. Just lost my brother, Ryan, in a motorcycle accident this summer & completely understand the pain you must feel. I didn't know Bob very well, but I sure remember what a character he was, charming & very funny. My thoughts are with you as you grieve.

I have many fond memories of Bobby and his family, as we grew up on Pine Lane together. Dearest family members; we never know when a loved one will leave this earth and nothing can prepare your heart for the loss. Remember that no one can ever take away your memories nor the love he had for you. I pray that you know of God's love and will feel His comforting hands, as you travel through the days ahead.

I was blessed to know Bob as he had recently joined Hope Church. He was a kind man and helped us out with his culinary gifts. Kaleb, he loved you very much, and I know that your relationship was very important to him. May the memories you have of him and God's grace be with you all in this time of grief. It was a privilege to know him.
