To the Bishop and Wolff family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Although we only interacted at a couple of BBQ's at Jim F's and trivia, I felt I new your whole family. We at the office knew you and your mom well, as Bob always kept us informed on your mom and the 3 of you. We know your mom and uncle were proud of you all. Ditto on what Mary S said too.

To Sarah, Ellen and Mark: Dennis K. let some of your uncle Bob's old work buddies know your mom had passed. We were so sad to hear this and are all thinking of you guys during this difficult time. I know you know this already but you all were the light of your uncle Bob's life and now your mom and he can do some serious catching up and watch over all of you from above. Take care of each other and live life to the fullest as I know you've had great examples of how to do just that! Peace, Mary

I will miss you dear friend. I enjoyed our talks about our families and how you always asked about my babies. I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to speak to you and see your smiling face Monday morning. Rest now in His presence.
