Dear Dorothy and Family,
I want you all to know that
you are in my thoughts and
prayers. We will all miss our
Dads. My best memory of Bob is
him tickling me until I couldn’t
breath, when you guys lived off
of Long Shoals road. That’s when
I decided not to be ticklish anymore.
He bet me I couldn’t do it but I did,
he taught me how to just ignore it if
someone tried to tickle me. Boy does
that make Kirky mad if I don’t
laugh….But I sure Love it.
And I love you all, take care of
each other and stay close.
Love,
Debbie
Bob, you will always be in our hearts, we will miss you.
Our Deepest Sympathy
May you find peace in the happy memories and the promises made to us by God.
