Betty, 
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  Please give Kaya a hug for me.

Dear Betty,

Please accept my sincerest condolences, and my apology for being so late in writing a note to you.  I was in China and did not learn of Bobby's passing until I returned.  

You were clearly the light of his life and he was blessed to have you with him so many years.  You have many precious memories of your time together...those memories will become sweeter and more cherished as time goes by.  

I remember when we were in the 5th grade, he spent his lunch money on packages of Kool-Aid so we could all lick our finger, dip in the package and have red and purple teeth and lips (and fingers).  hahaha  It was fun.  I remember him most as being quiet and shy but shall remember him most as being a thoroughly good person.

Betty,
  I was so saddened to hear of Bobby's passing. I had heard that he was ill.
  My condolences to you and to all of
your family.
  Bobby was very important part of my years at Norview High, as a friend and fellow classmate.

Dear Leslie, We hope it is not too late for you to receive this note, but we wanted you to know how very sorry we were to learn of your Father's death.  Please know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers during these days of sadness.
We were reminded of another sad time in your life many years ago when you were just a teenager and so near to our hearts.  We have often wondered how you were and what paths you had taken in life.  How happy we were to learn that you are married and have a son.   We pray that all is well for you and your family, and may God bless and keep you close to His heart.
       Our love and prayers,

The Starboards--Kiddy & James

To my wonderful friend of sixteen years, May God continue to lead and guide you during this difficult time. Mr. Bobby was a great man, who was a wonderful husband and friend to you.

Betty,Dear,
i'm sooo sorry to hear about Bobby. I was at the church but couldn't go to the cemetery as i can't free stand for long periods of time, but i wanted you to know i cared enough to come. You were REALLY there for me when i lost my stepmom, long after the funeral when i'd put the cards away, i went thru a time that people would forget her and i got YOUR CARD, showing me people would NEVER forget Mags. I hope you have someone dear that will do the same thing for you.

Dear Betty, I am so sorry you have lost Bobby, BUT it's only for awhile.  I was really touched to learn of this sadness. I would come to the visitation and services, except I had 10 hours of surgery recently and am still recovering. You all are in my prayers.        Mr. Bonney

Will be thinking of you during this time of sorrow and wishing you all the best.  Your neighbor, Charlie

Betty, Leslie, Daniel,and all of the family, my Deepest Sympathy on the passing of Bob. I was just recently talking to him about the shipyard at Newport News, the different ships and today he has gone on.  There are many wonderful memories of his days at the shipyard and how he trained and supervised many young designers to mature and move on up through the ranks.  We all are so appreciative because he left a landmark of dedication. May his memories live on with each of you and be a comfort to you in times of need.  -Flo

Betty, I am so sorry to learn that Bobby has passed away. He was such a wonderful man, so full of life and such a warm person. He had a smile that could light up a room.  You two were so good together and your happiness rubbed off on all who came in contact with you both.  You are in my thoughts and prayers, Betty. I am so sad he is gone.  I can only imagine the sadness in your heart.  You have many people who love you and care for you and know that I will hold you in my heart. Jennifer Holsen

Betty, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
 Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
