    Shauna, of course words can’t convey how much Bob will be missed! Remember last summer when the two of you joined us for a cookout/pool party! We always enjoyed our time together, whether in Indiana or Illinois. I’m sure you’re taking comfort in the fact that Bob is now walking with our Lord! God bless you! Love Brent and Jean

      Dave & Roberta,

      Yes, it is very strange right now…no parents, no grandparents and no husband…I am a little lost right now BUT GOD…is so good to me and carry’s me. I lost track of you both after you moved away. Bob and I had just relocated back to Frankfort 3 years ago quite unexpectedly but it’s a God thing of course. You take care of yourselves. You were always such good neighbors to my folks and good friends. ~Shauna
