My prayers and thoughts are with you all, Bobby was a good friend and neighbor. I’ve known him since grade school. Loved talking with him and laughing about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I made him a blanket, little did I know he wouldn’t get to use it very much. But he loved it and that’s all that mattered, I’ll miss our texts. He’s in gods hands and not hurting.
To all of Bobby’s family and friends I extend my heartfelt sympathy. May God Bless each with your wonderful memories during this difficult time and days to come.
