Shirley: I have wonderful memories of sitting under a big tree on your stone wall cracking nuts and eating them. I know there were times I was probably banging those stones so loud that you and Bob wanted to wring my neck! Also, when Doug and I would ride our bikes up and down your driveway -- it had to have been so annoying. However, I don't recall either of you being unkind to us. Bob would sometimes even let me help him wash the car. That ment alot to a little kid and as an adult, it still does. The two of you were really great neighbors.
I was so glad to have seen you, Bob,and Jeff a few months ago. Of course, he was pleasant as usual. What a great person he was. You and your family are in my prayers. May sweet memories bring a smile to your face and peace in your heart.
You have our sympathy
Shirley, Jeff, Peyton, Tyson, and the rest of Bob's loved ones:
I'm so sorry. Bob was a good man, and will be greatly missed. I'm praying for you all, and you have my deepest sympathy.
Love to All,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow. I will never forget your dad's wonderful sense of humor, warm smile and his way of making you feel "like family" whenever he would see you. Keep all those wonderful memories in your hearts for they will help you as you heal and allow him to continue living daily.

Shirley and Family,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you at this time. Bob was a great guy and you were fortunate to have 60 years of marrage together. Whenever I think of him, I always see a smile on his face. Although he is gone, I'm sure he's looking down on each of you, from heaven above, with a smile on his face.
Thinking of you,
The Murry Family

Sincerely,
Marian
