Bob, This is Billy. This is truly one of the saddest days of my life. You were the BEST friend I ever had in this
life! As I sit here, I can hardly write this for the tears in my eyes. I was a fool to have allowed our friendship to have slipped away. This world is a much lessor place for your leaving, but Heaven is all the more richer. I have never met your wife, Karen, but it sounds like she was the one you always wanted and deserved. I'm so glad she was with you at the end. Well Buddy, I'm going to say g'bye for now, but as I'm getting old too it doesn't look like it'll be too much longer till I see you again. We'll catch up on everything then, ok? Love ya......Billy

My Dearest Husband,

It's New Year's Day and I am both happy and so very sad. I'm sad that I have to start a new year without you by my side. But I am so happy to know that you don't have to start this new year in pain and misery. I know that you are finally pain free and able to tell your jokes again. I am so very thankful that you came into my life, even though our time together was so short, I have a lifetime of wonderful memories. The gift of your love for me will fill my heart for the rest of my life. I miss you so much baby, I can hardly stand it. But then I see your fantastic smile in my mind and I can go on for another day. Keep on smiling baby..... Until we are together again, all my love forever..... Karen

Uncle Bob, I can find peace knowing that you are now in heaven and out of such horrible pain. I am sure you are up there telling jokes and making people smile. I will always remember you chasing us around the house when we were little as the Tickle Bug and how when I got my Big Wheel for Christmas, you had to take it for a spin yourself. :) I will always remember the fun. Thank God you found and married Karen. She really loves you and took such great care of you until the very end. She is a brave and special person. I will miss you and love you forever Uncle Bob. I'll see you again someday. I feel good knowing I have another angel to watch over me. Love, Your Niece Elizabeth

Dearest Brother,

I will love you always and cherish the time we shared at the end. Everything else is so clear to me now. You are embraced in my heart and my thoughts are filled with your humor and kindness. I am so proud that you are my brother.

I love you then, now, & always.

And thank you for giving this family Karen.

I know that it seems typical to say, but I loved Bob and will miss him very much. I didn't get to talk to him a lot and I think that it's important that we remember to stop and touch base with those we love before we no longer can.
