Bob,it's still so hard to believe that you are no longer here with us.I wish you would have given us the chance to tell you this before you left, but we know in our hearts that this message will get to you.



You were a man of courage and convictions, you were a pillar of strength in the face of adversity and hardships. We have seen you grow over the years to become a man who by education and hard work tryed to better and benefit the lives of many. You did. You made a difference. Lives have been changed because of you, and lives have been saved. What greater purpose could anyone fullfill. We are proud to say you were OUR brother, and we thank you for the fun times we've shared, and for the memories you have given us that will keep us laughing for years to come. We thank you the beautiful nieces you brought into our lives and family and for loving our sister and for teaching her to be strong. We pray that you continue to watch over them and stay in their presence, they still need you, now more than ever. We love you Bob and we will miss you everyday, but we will look for you in every smile on your daughters faces and hear you in they're laughter. One day we will meet again, and I know as soon as we cross over to where you are, the first thing we will hear is "what are you doing here?" I'm happy you are pain-free be at peace and know we've got your back.. the girls will never need for anything as long as we are here. We love you Bob thank you for being part of our family and hearts.
