Robert Polk Obituary

Hi Jessica this is Jessica B from school I am so sorry for your lost and I am deeply sorry that I could not be there for you in your time of need I really hope you and your family can find peace in your hearts and know that he is gone to a much better place. I love you sweetie and stay strong.

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you."

Dad,
Funny, I was going through some old pictures and am grateful for all the time we spent together when we were kids. I feel selfish for wanting just 1 more day with you, but I am thankful for the memories which will never fade. I was comforted by hearing that just because words were not exchanged between us that you still knew how I felt and that our relationship was closer then I thought. I now wish we had been able to express that to each other, but I guess that’s just how we were. Hearing Seger will never be the same but when I do, I’ll know your close by :) I feel at ease knowing your not alone, tell Auntie Chris and Grandpa I said hello. Until I see you again Kiss Kiss. Love you! Chris

Dad,
I can't believe this had to happen so soon, I didn't take advantage of the time you were here. I wish I could have made it to see you more than I did. I have not been able to go 2 mins. without seeing your face in my mind. I have not been able to go 5 mins without tears. I don't know how my life is going to be from now on without you here to talk to . I hope that you can still hear me, cause I've been talking to you non-stop for the past 3 days. I can't wait to see you again one day. I will never forget how great you were to us,and all of your grandkids. They love you so much,and they were always so excited when they knew we were coming to see "Grandpa Bob"
I'll never forget the way you used to stand outside and wave to us as we drove away. I can't stop thinking of all the sweet little things that I thought I'd have much longer. It was all the small things that made you so special, and made you the great dad, and a great grandpa. We love you so much, and I'll still be talking to you when I need someone to talk to, so I hope you're ready to listen.
I love you dad
Jessica

My friend, lover, companion and husband. I'll miss you forever. I love you because you are you. I'll see you again, wait for me. We were always together and I'll miss that, even though I never told you. You made me happy, secure and I knew how much you loved me. You did so much for me. I had found my soul mate in you. Some people never have that and am so grateful I finally found it in you. I love you with all me heart. Your Wife

Mom, Chris, Mike, Jenny, Jessica, Johnny, and all of Bob's extended family-

There are no words to describe the shock and sadness we felt upon hearing the news of Bob's sudden passing. You are all in our thoughts and we sincerely hope that, in time, you can find comfort reflecting on the time, memories, and the love that you shared together. Bob will remain in our hearts forever and we will miss him very much.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I'll miss you Dad. I love you so much <3
Jessica

Please accept my deepest and heartfelt sympathy. I am so saddened by Bob's sudden passing and am praying for peace for all of you. I will always hold the memory of Bob and each and every one of you very close to my heart.
Life goes on, and yes you get sad, but remember, there is always someone with you. Always.
