Dear Michelle,
Unfortunately I am not able to attend the services with my work schedule. I enjoyed viewing the photo tribute, giving me the chance to visit your lives throughtout the years.
Since visiting with you at Mary’s funeral and learning then of Bob’s illness, I thought of you both and held your family in my prayers and heart.
May God bless you Michelle with peace, in your silent moments may the memories of the love you shared with Bob bring you comfort, joy and a smile to your heart.
In friendship,
Nita

Renee and Dan and Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you. Vickie, Steve, Dylan and Derek Zellner
Dear Rob- I want to thank you for all the laughter you brought into my life and into this world. You were my cool, clever cousin and I always looked up to you. I knew I would laugh whenever I saw you. Throughout your illness you were so gracious- always allowing a visit or showing up at gatherings because you knew how important it was for us all to see you even when it’s the last thing you may have felt like doing. I thank you for that. You showed a different side of my cousin Rob to me. You were absolutely self-less.You are soaring peacefully now, Rob. Free at long last of your physical pain and for that I am grateful. I know you are watching over us and I can feel you in my heart where you will remain forever. I love you, Rob. ~~Sherry~~
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family. May God draw you close and give you His comfort as you grieve.
Kevin,
Virginia an d I are saddened to hear of the passing of your brother. Fifty-six is far too young, but it seems he did manage to pack a wonderful life into the years he did have.
Our condolences to you and your family.
