Mary,
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. It is Love, not reason, that is stronger than death. The way through the world is more difficult to find than the way beyond it. Only time moves on to the next scene. Memory remains part of the Heart Forever.
We will miss BOB with you Always.
Love, Kay & Niles
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind…
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
For my Beautiful Friend, Mary! Love, E.
Bob was a very special man and will be deeply missed. One of the first jobs that I worked on with Bob was at Hec Ed. His work ethic, attention to detail and sense of humor made a lasting impression. Our prayers are with you Mary.
Dear Mary, We send our deepest sympathy to you. We have fond memories of warm sunny days in Mexico with you two. Bob was a joy to be around and he will be missed.
Dear Mary and family,
We were so sad to hear about the tragic loss of our friend Bob. Northshore will never be the same without him! Bob was always such a happy and special friend. He was always smiling, not only with his face but with his heart. He truly cared about everyone he met and would go out of his way to help others and make everyone happy. We will always remember our trips to Mexico the most because of the fun we had and that is when we got to spend the most time with him. We will miss him so much!
Hugs to you Mary, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Karen and Justin Flatt
I’ll always remember our talks about sailing and his days out on his Hobie Cat. It always brought a big smile to his face!
Mary, We all loved Bob and miss him very much. I’m sure he’s striking up some interesting conversation in heaven right now and advocating for you and everyone else he loves. Take care.
Brian
Mary,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, now and always.
Mary – you are constantly in my thoughts. God bless you and give you strength. ~Karen
Dear Mary,
My thoughts are with you. While you find yourself in a place you didn’t even imagine, may you find moments of peace and loving thoughts and memories to carry you through when you need them most.
Mary, our hearts and prayers go out to you in this very difficult time. Know that the memories that can cause such pain right now will one day bring a smile to your face and will warm your heart.
You’ll be in our hearts and prayers Mary…
Mary: My heart goes out to you during this difficult time, and I wish I had the words to heal the pain you’re going through. Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. May the memories keep you going
Mary our prayers are with you. May God wrap you in his arms of peace and bring you daily comfort.
Bob was so genuine. Always taking the time to find out how our family was doing. Watching Bob makes us realize that life is short and relationships are most important. One thing I have learned from Bob is to take the time and enjoy others in their life journey.
Dear Mary
I did not know Bob, but I know you, I know the great and funny person you are, I know you are enduring a grievous loss. Please know that I am thinking of you, and hope you can find solace in the good thoughts from your friends…
I didn’t know Bob well, but he was one of those rare people you could talk to for 5 minutes and feel like you had known him for years. You will be missed by many.
Tanya
I didn’t have the opportunity to meet Bob — I wish I had. Knowing you, he could not have been a person other than exceptional.
To the extent I am able to begin to feel your loss and unexpected change of direction, I am with you in heart.
My heartfelt sympathies to you, your & Bob’s family and to all of those who now have a wound in their hearts from his departure.
If my belief system were everyone’s, I can say only that he will never leave you entirely. He will watch over you until you meet again.
Tyra
The grief we have in our hearts for our beloved friend Bob is something that no words can really describe. Bob lived life to the fullest always extending his warm and cheery smile with everyone. He had a way of making you feel special and was ALWAYS willing to lend a helping hand NEVER expecting anything in return. We just hope he knew how much we loved him. Our hearts are heavy with such a tidle wave of grief. It is our prayer that Mary feel the love of so many to help her through this journey. Bob, we are all destined to crossover and we just were not ready for you to do so so suddenly. Please save a seat for us. Your friends then, now and forever, Mike and Karen
