Betty: I have a lot of good memories of when I cared for Bob in 1980,81? I saw a lot of love and commitment from all of the family. He had a good sense of humor and put forth a lot of effort. I saw him many years ago at the fair. He never changed and he knew me. I was thinking of you and Bob recently. It's been a long journey. My prayers are with you. Love, Dianne.

Condolences to the Absher family and especially Betty. I was one of Bob's caretakers in the mid 80s and enjoyed working with him very much. He was a sweet soul and I remember our activities fondly. I know Bob is happy and healthy in heaven and watching over his family. May peace be with his family and friends at this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bobby, I enjoyed growing up in my parents house, and that's how I met you and your wonderful family, we all were in the same neighborhood. Those are very fond memories, and I will treasure them for a lifetime. I was truly blessed with your smile, when I saw you at the mall. May God Hold Bob In The Palm of His Hand!
