Anne, I am grieved to hear of Bob's passing. I am sure Bob is walking by sight now! His faith in Christ had delivered eternal life to him and now that he is absent from the flesh, I am sure he is present with the Lord. May the Spirit of God assuage your heart in these difficult days, and may He bring you comfort, and turn your mourning into rejoicing somehow. Please know you are daily in my prayers. Sister, draw nigh unto God and surely He will draw nigh unto thee.

Anne,

We are forever saddened at the loss of Bob. Our prayers and thoughts are will you and your family always.

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley
