Guestbook

  1. Auntie Melanie and Liz,

    As a child, my earliest memory of Uncle Bob was that he was always wearing a cowboy hat. I don’t remember if he wore it all the time, but I remember I thought that’s why he was fun! …Hold on to the good memories and hold on to the fact that you will see him again. I love you both and am praying you will feel God’s arms holding you during this very difficult time.

  2. Melanie and Liz,

    I’m absolutley heartbroken for you. I hope you can find some small comfort in knowing that Bob is in a good place now.
    All my love,
    Brittany

  3. I was so saddened to hear of your loss. Not only was Bob my coworker he was one of my very good friends. May God Bless you at this sad time.

  4. To Bob’s family,
    I had the pleasure of knowing Bob when he was on the janitorial staff at Matrix(now Convergys)and was his neighbor for about a year on Nelson Ave.. Bob always had a kind word or a good joke to tell. He was the kind of man that would be the first to offer a helping hand. I feel blessed to have known him. I pray the Lord will give you all comfort, faith, and strength during your time of grief.
