Beth, Linda, Ed & Daniel, I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was so nice to talk to. I remember when Mark & I went up to Iowa, Bob & Beth let us stay overnight. Bob & Beth both offered to for Mark or me, if we wanted to, to sleep in their bed. We both declined, Mark slept in a recliner & I slept on a mattress on the floor. Both Bob & Beth were very hospitable. If you read their page, I put in the Family Tree Book, I wrote up in their page about a trip they took after they were married. At the end of the story they wrote; a saying about the Hatfield's & McCoys, ending with I have to love them.

Beth you had 25 good years with your beloved husband. You have many memories of Bob, that you will never forget, keep that in your mind. You will also start to remember how it was when you were first married, like the hotel 'shenanigans'. Remember the story you wrote for Family Tree? My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you, Diana

Bob was a great guy. I know he loved you so much and I am deeply sorry for your loss. I wish there were words to make it better but there aren't. You are in my thoughts and prayers. You have a big support group. Lean on everyone to help you through this.
