Uncle Bob, I am missing you, but glad you are no longer in pain, and together again with Connie. I think of you as traveling on another prize trip that she won for you. You were so blessed to have her, and to meet your daughter Patricia again, and to have a family of faith at your church to support you. I thank God for bringing you home again.

Bob, you will be greatly missed. Now you are at rest, in the presence of God. You fought a good fight and you kept the faith. And thank you for bringing happiness to my sister, Connie during her lifetime.
