My heart is a little sadder to see the passing of our cousin, Bob. The only time I was able to see him was when we met up at a funeral for one of our family members. He always came to the funerals to honor the passing of our relatives. Sadly to say, there aren't very many of my mom's family left. His mom, Fay, found my family our home in Salt Lake City. Grandpa wanted a garage, so Bob built him one. We would joke about it every time we saw each other. I remember him every time I go in my backyard and see that 49 year old garage:) Go in peace my cousin and I pray God be with your family and loved ones.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. The only time we ever saw each other was at family funerals, but I remember him every time I go in my back yard and see my garage :). May peace be with his family and a joyous reunion for him and all the family in the heavens.
