I am so very sorry to learn of Bobby's passing. I have many happy memories of having known him - he holds a place in my heart still.
The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

So sorry for the scatton family's loss. I only met Bobby once but have been good friends with his brother Dennis for many years and I know how much he loves his brother. It's such a devastating time for the family but faith that you will see him again in the star nation sitting at the family campfire will help you through it
