To Pat: It has been one year today that your life took a big turn. I am so very proud of you and how well you have handled one of the most hurtful years you have ever had. You are as strong as Bobby was loving. He surely is very proud of you. God Bless You and your Family on this day. Love You, Karen

My brother was a big guy with a larger heart. I miss him every day and wish he was still here with me. He never let us down he was always there for the people he cared about. I am devasted that my son will grow up without having the chance to know his uncle bobby. I have never meet anyone in my life as selfless as bobby was. I have never known a more loving and caring person. Bobby was loved greatly and will be missed. I wish he had not died, but hope that he is in a good place and is still feeling all of our love.

Bobby had a Heart that was much bigger than he was. He will be missed not only as a freind but a co-worker also. When God was searching for the Perfect Angel, he hit the jackpot with our Bobby. God Bless his soul and God Bless his family. We Love You.
