    My sincerest sympathies to Kay and her family – Bob was never anything but true hearted and never failed to brag about those he loved ❤️

    I read something that said “a heart has to break a bit to make room”. Well there is plenty of cracks in our hearts. Our love for you fills the biggest part left and always will. God wanted you there and we all have an angel watching over us
    Miss you Pa, ❤️

    Let us rejoice for that we were loved, someone cared for us, someone was our friend. He will always be these things to us, but now his gifts are Heavens sake.
    Love you Grandpa.

    It’s been nearly 6 months since you’ve been gone. I think it was somehow easier when you first left us. There was lots to keep us busy, hardly any time to think and feel. Many things have settled back to just living. Grief can creep in easier now and unexpectedly. We have the memories of you, all the places, restaurants, you found and fun just sitting on the veranda. We miss you like crazy but sometimes you are right there with us. That helps. All the love dad❤️

    Hi Pa, first Thanksgiving since you’ve been gone. The morning was hard. Mom said grace, she got through it, barely. It was a good day. There was something missing. Everyone was happy to be together for thanksgiving.. something was missing. It gets a little bit better everyday but someone is missing. You are missing.. but somehow still there ❤️
