A peaceful death of a loved one reminds us of a falling star - one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever...Although Uncle Bob has moved to that 'forever' place, he is at peace and in some very good company - his sister and parents (among others). Bodies are missed, but memories are never forgotten.

MAUREEN & SHIRLEY,
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT BOB'S PASSING
YOUR FAMILY ARE IN MY PRAYERS.
