Keeping family and friends close in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Bob will truly be missed but his memories will live on in our hearts always. May the Lord’s infinite compassion give you peace to carry you through this time and the days ahead. He is the God of all comfort. II Corinthians 13
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Realizing, though, that no matter how much we love another person, we cannot control his or her life, nor can we prevent time and unforeseen occurrence from befalling those we love ~ Ecclesiastes 911.
Barry and I will always remember Bob. We send our deepest sympathy and love to his wife Pat and his family. Know that we keep you all close to our hearts. Donna and Barry Lombardo
