My heart felt so heavy when I learned of Uncle Bob's passing. And then all I could think about is how happy both Uncle Bob & Aunt Armella are now that they are together and somehow that helped a bit. I pray you guys will feel that some day too, I know though time is the only thing that will ease a loss so great as Uncle Bob. I love you all and will pray that your hearts will smile again too. Love, Criss
