Condolence: My heartfelt condolences to Bob's family. Losing a loved one to death is one of the hardest things to deal with in life. May you find strength and comfort in each other but most of all in Jehovah God and his promises to end all sickness and death and restore life by means of a resurrection. (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4) Until that day comes it is my hope that you will draw comfort from the words found at Jeremiah 29:11, 12. There, we are assured that when we pray to Jehovah, he will listen.

Condolence: I am sorry that Vickie and I are unable to be with you to celebrate Uncle Bob's life. I am sadden that he left us so suddenly and send our love to all of the family. I haven't had the pleasure of being around Bob and my cousins much as we all grew older and made our own way in the world but I sure remember many occasions of pure joy being with Bob, Maggie and your clan. Bobby and I were "best buds" when I was a child, spending great fun whenever the families got together. That was one thing when we were kids, we had many visits and created great bonds. I remember going fishing with my dad, Uncle Bob and Bobby, probably my first fishing trip. we caught several bluegill and Bob promptly threw them back in the Ohio River, telling Bobby and I that we can't eat those because the river was so polluted. Bob was always so full of energy and always smiling when I saw him, my favorite uncle, my favorite aunt Maggie, (she always said I really belonged to your clan), my second family as a child. Best wishes to all of you, all my love, please smile and rejoice the wonderful impact Bob (and Maggie)had on all of us. All our Love, Pat and Vickie Barrett
