Uncle Bob - We will miss you greatly!! You have always been a wonderful Uncle to me, always helping me out when I was in need. Always eager to see a movie or go to lunch. Even enjoyed just watching a video or listening to Elvis and Johnny Cash Gospel. You were also a great (great) Uncle to Anthony. We love you and will miss you very much. I know you are finally at Peace and I am thankful that you are no longer struggling, fighting and are comforted knowing you are in the loving arms of God, JESUS our Savior, the Holy Spirit and of course Deanna. You can now enjoy fishing for as long as you want while listening to some of the great country artists perform. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Sandy & Anthony
