Dear Kalee, Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. God bless.
We were 2nd cousins with Bob, but we always felt so much closer than that. We have so many happy memories of our times together. He was ALWAYS such a kind, thoughtful person even as a youngster. Even though I’m sad I lost my brother, Jerry, who was the same age, I’m happy he doesn’t have to experience the sadness we feel in this loss. God bless his family now as I’m sure they loved him very much.
Regie and family, So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Regina sorry to hear about Bob, we were baseball parents together when Tim Smith and Bobby were young, may God give you and family strength and peace during this difficult time God Bless ❤️
