Love You Brother
You were the best father a girl could ask for. Thank you for everything dad 💗
We are sending our lcondolences and prayers to Michael, Rachel and Carly and the entire family!
We love you
Wow! As I sit here with tears running down my face, I can’t believe you’re really gone, I know you are in a better place. I know you are eating and have a really big smile on your face. I just wish I could have witnessed that meal and that smile. But I am glad you are not suffering anymore. It killed me to see you suffering. But then it kills me to not be able to talk to you again. We will meet again and go get that grouper wrap on the beach that you were just talking to me about last week. You are forever in my heart and am a better person because of you. Rest in peace my brother. I love you forever. Carol
Prayers for the family,Bob was a great guy, his love for his family
God bless you all
I’m truly sorry for the loss of your father. I can’t imagine how devastating it must be for you all. All the times I’ve seen him, he was always very kind to me, always asked how I was doing and how my Mom was feeling (I always really appreciated that). He also had a great sense of humor! I know he is proud of you all and will love you forever.
Love,
Dennis.
May all your memories carry your family through this difficult time. Bob was a wonderful man who loved his family so much and always had so much pride for Michael, Rachel and Carly.
This is truly one of the hardest goodbyes.
Love,
Paul and Lola
