Bob,
Will always be remembered by me as a good friend. He was always there for you if you needed him either with encouragement or he would roll up his sleeves and help out where he could. Bob will be missed as good people are. Until we meet again.

To those who have gone before us, like Robert and my dear late husband Jerry, I hope they are waiting for us with open arms when the day comes that we join them, I know their spirit is always with us here and now. Let's be thankful for the wonderful memories that we have of Robert because that is the greatest gift that he has left us. We mourn his loss but are so grateful for the time we had with him. Bless you, Kim, for all you were to him.

With much love,

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Kim,
You have not met us but we were neighbors and friends to Bob for a number of years in LeMars. We had many great times with him. Dean worked with him and Bob also worked with my father. We visited on a few occasions while he was living in Colorado. He has a very special place in our heart as well as our two adult children. The kids always loved the variety of dogs he had as pets. Bob was always kind and friendly to us and to all who knew him back here in Iowa. Please know that he will ALWAYS be in our hearts and you will be in our prayers.
