HI BOB (AKA) ROBERT,SURE MISS YOU AND TERRY I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THE TIME YOU AND TERRI AND I WENT TO GO OUT DANCING AT B.C.CAVE WE ALL HAD ALOT OF FUN AND COUNTRY CITY REMEMBER THAT PLACE JOHNNY, YOU, I ,CHRIS REMEMBER JOHNNY GETTING PUT IN JAIL BECAUSE OF CHRIS,

BOB I LOVE YOU AND SURE WISH WE HAD MORE TIME SOME DAY I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN

IM JUST HAPPY YOU DIDNT SUFFER.  

Hi baby, I'm sitting here reading all the memories and re-reading all the poems I put on here and all I can do is cry because I know we will never make any more memories and that is just not acceptable.  I'm trying so hard to be strong for the kids and grandkids but it's just not going well.  I just fumble through the day and can't wait to get home just so I can get on the computer and look at all the pictures of you.  The computer has become my solace.  I'm always thinking about the night you passed away and your last words to me and my heart breaks all over again.  I still can't fathom the thought that you and Terry are gone.  I keep waiting to see you come out of the bedroom.  Everytime I hear the door for a brief second I think your home.  When I come down our street and see your truck.  You will never come through that door again or come out of the bedroom.  I'll never hear your laughter or see you smile.  I still sleep with your sheet, your pillow and your bathrobe.  Your clothes are still hanging in the closet.  Your stuff is still in the bathroom.  It's like you were still here.  I can't get rid of anything.  It would feel like I was losing you all over again.  I can't even delete your email address.  I feel like someone had ripped my heart out of my chest.  Why didn't you let me say goodbye before you left us?  You should have waited until Christopher was back so he could have been here.  But knowing you as well as I do, you wanted it your way with no emotion showing because you wouldn't have been able to handle that.  You didn't want to see us all heartbroken.  This way you went peacefully and with no stress.  I love you for trying to be strong to the end, but you also cheated us by not letting us say goodbye.  I needed that time to say what I needed to say.  I needed my final goodbye.  At night when I'm in bed, I will still put my legs over on your side like I always did to make sure you were still there.  How do I go on with my life without you in it?  We were together over half my life.  I am so grateful for the time we did have together but it just wasn't long enough.  25 years seems long but when you look back it almost seems like yesterday.  I start to cry because I know you never will be there again.  However long I have on this earth will be an eternity until I see your smiling face again.  We were meant to be together forever.  Forever is an understatement.  I miss my best friend.  I love you forever.

BOB I JUST HAD A MEMORY  OF US WHEN WE LIVED ON VAL VISTA WE USE TO PUSH THE TRUCK DOWN THE DRIVE AND GO OUT TO THE RIVER WITH TIM OR GO DOWN MAIN ST.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE TIME YOU, MIKE AND I WENT FOUR WHEELING YOU HAD A WHITE TOYOTA AND I HAD A SAMURAI AND WHEN YOU COME UP TO THE PAYSON RODEO WITH ALL OF US AND VINCE TRIED TO THROW A FIREMAN IN THE CAMP FIRE BECAUSE HE WAS GOING ON ABOUT DEPUTYS AND THE TIME YOU AND MARK BROWN STOPPED A MAN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND YOU BOTH THOUGHT WILLY HOGAN SHOT HIM, BOB I DONT KNOW HOW TO GO ON WITH YOU NOT BEING HERE ANYMORE EVERY ONE TELLS ME IT GETS BETTER I DONT KNOW, I CRY ALL THE TIME

BOB I LOVE YOU

 

 

YOUR LITTLE SISTER     

I have come to realize

that time is so dear

when you are no longer here.

I cling to memories,

sweet memories that bring you near.

If only I could touch you again

without bringing back the pain

feeling your presence that you are not really

very far away.

That would bring back us

the aura and magic

of being again

together.

I know you are

just a whisper away.

              When tomorrow starts without me,

            And I'm not there to see,

            If the sun should rise and find your eyes

            all filled with tears for me,

            I wish so much you wouldn't cry

             The way you did today,

            While thinking of the many things,

            We didn't get to say.

             I know how much you love me,

            As much as I love you,

            and each time that you think of me,

            I know you'll miss me too.

               But when tomorrow starts without me,

            Please try to understand,

            That an angel came and called my name,

            And took me by the hand,

            and said my place was ready,

            In heaven far above,

             And that I'd have to leave behind

            All those I dearly love.

              But as I turned to walk away,

            A tear fell from my eye

            For all my life, I'd always thought,

            I didn't want to die.

             I had so much to live for,

            So much left yet to do,

            It seemed almost impossible,

            That I was leaving you.

             I thought of all the yesterdays

            The good ones and the bad,

            I thought of all the love we shared,

            and all the fun we had

             If I could re-live yesterday

            Just even for a while,

            I'd say good-bye and kiss you

            And maybe see you smile.

           But then I fully realized,

            That this could never be,

            For emptiness and memories,

            would take the place of me.

             And when I thought of worldly things,

            I might miss come tomorrow,

            I thought of you, and when I did,

            My heart was filled with sorrow.

            But when I walked through heaven's gates,

            I felt so much at home

            When God looked down and smiled at me,

            From His great golden throne.

           He said, "This is eternity,

            And all I've promised you."

            Today your life on earth is past,

            But here life starts anew

            I promise no tomorrow,

            But today will always last,

            And since each day's the same way

            There's no longing for the past.

            You have been so faithful,

            So trusting and so true.

            Though there were times

            You did some things

            You knew you shouldn't do.

            But you have been forgiven

            And now at last you're free.

            So won't you come and take my hand

            And share my life with me?

               So when tomorrow starts without me,

             Don't think we're far apart,

            For every time you think of me,

            I'm right here, in your heart.

BOB HERE I AM THINKING OF THE YEARS THAT WERE WASTED, THAT WE NEVER SAW EACH OTHER.. AND THEN I TRY TOO LOOK AT THE YEARS WE DID HAVE AS A FAMILY... I AM TRULY SORRY AND WISHED I WOULD OF BEEN IN YOUR LIFE A WHOLE LOT MORE..... BUT EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN"T I LOVED YOU, I MISS YOU SO MUCH... YOU WERE SUCH A GOOD BROTHER, AND PROTECTIVE... I JUST WISHED I COULD HUG YOU AND GIVE YOU ONE MORE I LOVE... BUT SOMEDAY I WILL... UNTIL THEN I WILL KEEP YOU CLOSE WITHIN MY HEART.... YOUR BIG SISTER

 

                                                                                                   LOVE YA  LINDA

HEAL

When you got sick you fought like hell
Then you wait and time will tell.

The first reports were really great
Worth the suffering that you hate.

The treatments continue for awhile
Everyone prays they make you well.

Back to the doctor you pray you've won
But he tells you nothing more can be done.

You stay at home for your last days
With your family you'll be until your on your way.

Unfortunately and a surprise to all
Sooner than expected God made that call.

So God took your life
But he left your wife.

She can't believe its real
Or how she is suppose to deal.

She wanders the house room to room
In a state of constant gloom.

A broken heart is all she feels
Right now she thinks it will never heal.

From heaven above
Send down your love.

Let her know you are not apart
You will always be in her heart.

 

By Marion L Duffy

On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked a lot of whys??
With people all around me 
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious one

SINCE HEAVEN HAS BECOME YOUR HOME, 
I SOMETIMES FEEL I'M ALL ALONE.
AND THOUGH WE NOW ARE FAR APART. 
YOU HOLD A BIG PIECE OF MY HEART.
I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH I'D GRIEVE, 
WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR YOU TO LEAVE
OR JUST HOW MUCH MY HEART WOULD ACHE
 FROM THAT ONE FRAGMENT YOU WOULD TAKE
EACH MORNING, WHEN I AWAKE, 
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE GONE
AND NO ONE KNOWS THE HEARTACHE
 AS I TRY TO CARRY ON
MY HEART STILL ACHES WITH SADNESS
  AND SECRET TEARS STILL FLOW
WHAT IT MEANT TO LOSE YOU, 
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
MY THOUGHTS ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU; 
IN DEATH I LOVE YOU STILL
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A HEARTACHE, 
AND OFTEN A SILENT TEAR
BUT ALWAYS A PRECIOUS MEMORY,
 OF THE DAYS WHEN YOU WERE HERE
I HOLD YOU CLOSE WITHIN MY HEART, 
AND THERE YOU WILL REMAIN
TO WALK WITH ME THROUGHOUT 
MY LIFE UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

THERE IS A BRIDGE OF MEMORIES
FROM HERE TO HEAVEN ABOVE.
THAT WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU CLOSE TO US
IT'S CALLED THE BRIDGE OF LOVE
WITHIN OUR HEARTS, WE ALWAYS KEEP
A SPECIAL PLACE, FOR YOU, 
WE TRY TO DO, OUR BEST TO LIVE
AS YOU WOULD WANT US TO.
TO US, YOU ARE SO SPECIAL 
WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY.
EXCEPT TO WISH WITH ALL OUR HEARTS
THAT YOU WERE HERE, WITH US TODAY.

              If we could have a lifetime wish
                A dream that would come true,
                We'd pray to God with all our hearts
                         For yesterday and You.
                 A thousand words can't bring you back
                 We know because we've tried......
                   Neither will a thousand tears
                  We know because we've cried....
                 You left behind our broken hearts
                    And happy memories too....
                 But we never wanted memories
                        We only wanted You.

Hi sweetie,

I'm sitting here remembering the good times we used to have together.  How you were the life of the party.  You were always laughing even if it was something really corny.  I used to love to hear you laugh.  It would always make me laugh.  I just want to let you know how grateful and blessed I am to have had you in my life for 25 years.  We may have had some bad times, but we pulled through them and made things better.  We were meant to be together forever.  Forever was too soon.  We were supposed to grow old together and watch our grandchildren grow.  Now it's up to me to do it for the both of us.  I just wish we had more time together.  We may not have had much but we had each other and that's all we needed.  I wasn't ready for you to go yet.  You left too many things unfinished.  I will love you forever.

I won't see your smile

And I won't hear you laugh anymore

Every night, I won't see you walk through that door

Cause time wasn't on your side

It isn't right, I can't say I love you

It's too late to tell you

But I really need you to know

Oh baby no, I'll never forget you

I'll never let you out of my heart

Oh, you will always be here with me

Oh, I'll hold on to the memories, baby

Baby, can you hear me

Whereever you may be tonight

Are you near me

I need you to be by my side

Cause I never said, goodbye, it isn't right

I should have said, "I love you"

Why didn't I just tell you

God knows I need you to know

Somewhere, I know you'll be with me

Someday in another time

But right now you're gome, you just vanished away

But I'll never leave you behind

No, I'll never forget you

I'll never let you out of my heart

Oh, you will always be here with me

Oh, I'll hold on to the memories

Oh, you will always be here with me

 

 

 

 

They say that he can't win the fight,
for others have tried and failed..
That cancer is sure to claim his life,
and he'll just follow an empty trail!

But, if death is going to get him,
It won't win without a fight!
He gathers strength from those he loves,
to struggle with all of his might!

Though he fears not what lies ahead,
once his eyes have closed in death.
It's for the ones he shall leave behind
that he fights to his final breath!

No, he won't lay down his armor
or be caught without his shield...
God creates the miracles for him
to win in this Cancer Battlefield!

 

Sometimes we can't help
but ask the reason "why?"..
when a person we love
will just suddenly die!
Our heart is emptied
and replaced with pain.
There's such a heartache
that no words can explain!

For, one day he's here...
but the next day, he's gone!
You're surrounded by love,
Yet you feel lost and alone!
Everyone has felt the sting of death...
at some point in their life!
They know it cuts into your heart...
just like a two-edged knife!

But, there's one thing
that we must all understand...
without "death", he can't walk
with God hand in hand!
And, if he could come back today...
to this cruel worldly place!
He'd tell you how great Heaven is,
as he'd wipe the tears from your face!

He'd tell you that Heaven
is such a beauty to behold;
that the paths are lined with jewels...
that he walks on streets made of gold!
He'd tell you not to cry for him...
To stop the flow of your tears!
For he now walks with Angels,
And...he'll always be near!

Bob,

 

I have missed you so very much since you have been gone. The little time that we spent together in the last bit of your life has brought me so much joy. I miss you each day. Yesterday I was saying that I wish God would just bring you back for 1 or 2 days. I know it sounds selfish but I alone would spend one full day with you just talking and remembering all the things that you did unselfishly for other people. You were a great "BIG BROTHER" to me and to Karen. I know that Karen misses you, we all do. I am thankful for the years that we had and I am also thankful to God for aallowing you to be my brother. Thanks for being there when I had no clue, thanks for protecting me when I did not even know it, or when I did not think I needed it. If I had only known how you felt about Gary I would of taken your advice, because above all I did respect you. Love you  Bob and I will forever miss you
