Hey Bob,
Happy Birthday bro! I wish I could be saying that to you in person, but I guess God has bigger plans for you.
I just wanted to thank you for all the terrific memories and DOINZ over the years ... you were more than a brother to me.
There were so many things I had hoped we would be able to do, but those will have to wait until we are reunited again. I am comforted by all the good times we did share and by all the fond memories told by others whose lives you touched.
You were one of a kind Bob. I miss and love you. God Bless.
Your brother always,
Jon Paul

Mike,
My deepest sympathies to you and your family on your loss. Losing a brother must be akin to losing a vital organ and although I know you are suffering please take comfort in knowing that God is caring for him and he is preparing for your eventual place at his side again!
