Memories

From Marcie Johnson

We miss you, Bob!! I'm so sorry. I feel slightly responsible, as I'm the person that took you to the hospital. I didn't know it would be shortly thereafter that you would leave us. The girls and I miss you more than words can describe. We love you and know that you're looking over all of your children, especially your beautiful daughters Jennifer, Paula, Serena. ❤

From Marcie Johnson

I never anticipated the magnitude of you leaving, Bob! I think about you daily. I know your pain is gone and you are with family and friends. I haven't grieved losing you yet, for several reasons, but if you want to come visit me in a dream and let me know you are okay that would be perfect! We love you Bob!! And to Jennifer, Paula, Serena, and all Bob's family, my heart goes out to you. ❤
