Bob Ralston Obituary

Happy Birthday!! BOB RALSTON 12/10/55 - 1/26/02 There was no time to say goodbye; and, with very deep sadness, I never got to tell you I had fallen in love with you. I definitely felt your love too ... so I have a feeling you knew. That very special place in my heart for you is still there, and there's another place in my heart carrying that shattered dream. Thank you for being that special angel who is always watching over me. We miss & love you, Debbie (and, of course, Stolley!)

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Bob,

Although we never met, if Debbie was in your life, you had to be a special person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Debbie.

Well, I have NO idea where in the world my other entry went!! I was saying what a great, good looking and wonderful guy you were Bob! And how lucky you were to have Debbie. I can only imagine how bad it hurts, especially around the holidays, but I KNOW that you are looking down on Debbie, and you will be together again one day!

Hi Marcia/Marsha! --(not sure how you spell your name--so sorry!)

My Dear Marcia, owner of

OLD TOWN CAFE (1415 TIMBERLANE ROAD)
and formerly Bobby's Girlfriend:

You were such a sweetheart to me when Bobby died. You were kind, patient, and compassionate to me with your time and thoughts. And for that, I will never forget. You are a true blessing.

I know he cared about you & your children, and Bobby was deeply blessed to have had you in his life. God Bless You & Your Family.
