Hello, I am the older brother of Bobby G, as many of you called him. I just wanted to thank everyone who attended all of the services that were held in my brother’s honor. There were well over a thousand people who attended his funeral service. My family and I just want you to know that we truly appreciated hearing your memories that will forever bind you together with Bobby G. I always knew that my brother was a very special person, but after hearing so many of your testimonies, it just humbles me to realize how many lives Bobby G touched personally. His smile, sense of humor, and caring ways will live forever because of all of you who have my brother in their hearts. He was a shining STAR in my family and life for us will never be the same, but knowing there are so many people out there who truly loved my brother makes it much more bearable. As many of you have said, Heaven is a much better place now that Bobby G is flying with the angels! God bless you all and thank you so much for all the love you shared with my beloved brother.

Kathy,old friends are never far away--we are very sorry on Bobby's passing.Our prayers are with you and especially Gabriel ..God's peace to you..Ron and [older brother Bob Swanson

Bobby,
What can I say; life without you just will not be the same. You are loved by sooo many and my heart and prayers go out to your family especially Gabriel (even though you are going to haunt any man that goes near her ). ;) You have touched so many lives in so many ways, with the twinkle in those gorgeous eyes & those dimples like no others... See More. You always made everyone laugh when down and any room you walked in became brighter. You were such a close friend and I loved you sooo very much. I will be waiting for the day I will see you once again for our “Disco Ride”. I Love you Bobby G!!!! XOXOXO

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Kathy: It's been a very long time, but I recognized the name in today's Sun-Times and wanted to extend my heartfelt sympathy to you on the sudden, tragic loss of your son, Robert. God Bless.

I wish Bobby and I would've been in contact more in the past year. I don't really know what to say except that my heart goes out to all those you have left behind, and make those angels smile as you did everyone down here. You will be greatly missed, my friend.

My deepest sympathies to Bobby's family and friends. I feel blessed and honored to have known him and the time I got to spend with him.

My deepest sympathy to Bobby's family. I worked with him at Leo's years ago and he was an amazing man. Always had a smile and a joke and he touched the lives of some many. I will miss him dearly and I pray that the family can stand together and help each other through this. May you fly with the angels Bobby!

Dear Kathy and Family,
I am very sorry for you loss. I did not know Bobby personally. He was my parent's neighbor so when I heard the news it hit so close to home. I grieved for you. Please know that I am praying for you.

Godspeed, Bobby G.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
