We are so sorry for your loss, you will be in our prayers…

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Bobby’s family and friends. Bobby was a great man. He was always kind and brought me and my co-workers doughnuts when he came by the pharmacy.
I am sorry for the loss of my friend and neighbor. He was a friend to my son Tommy and they were fishing buddies. He will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Little Bob, Danny, Randy, Pam, and Missy, I am so very sorry to have found out this morning 8-13-15 that your wonderful Dad and my amazing Uncle Bob has passed. My heart is broken that I did not know of his passing. My prayers are with you all. I could have never asked for a better Uncle than Uncle Bob. My Mother loved her brother so very much. But now he is at peace with our Lord and the Stars are a little bit BRIGHTER.
