    Dear Cousin Trish, you and Bob have been in our thoughts and prayers often over the years. We are so sorry that you have had to bid him an earthly farewell. May it offer you some peace and comfort to know that you will CONTINUE to be in our prayers. Bob will be missed. But the Lord offers assurance that those who call upon His name will never walk alone.
    Love you!

    We are so sorry for the loss of your husband Bob. We will be praying for you and all the family as you deal with this loss.
  6. Preston and Ronda Dale Kirk
    My dear twin sister Trish, you and the Dawson and Kirk families are in our hearts and prayers. You were a pillar of strength to Bob in the last difficult years of his declining health. You certainly honored the pledge, "in sickness or health...'til death do us part." You remain a pillar of strength, as always approaching life's tribulations with the pure resolve, okay, "stubbornness" that has made you a survivor. May your grief be brief and your memories sweet of your nearly 30 years of togetherness.

    My deepest condolences to the family. Losing a loved one in death is one of the most difficult things to face. All suffering and death will soon be eliminated and we have the hope of being reunited with our loved ones who have died. (Revelation 21:3,4; John 5:28,29; Isaiah 26:19) While on earth, Jesus demonstrated his ability to bring Robert and others back to life. (John 11:11-44) May these scriptures bring some consolation until that time comes.
