[Gimpy]

I've been out of town for the holidays and just now saw this.

Please accept my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences for you and your familys loss.

May God bless and keep you and yours in this difficult time.

You are all in my prayers.

Bob was laid to rest in a beautiful setting insouthern WI surrounded by his brothers and sisters that went before him.I am happy because it is away from the city and out inrolling farm country. Hechose theplace, going alone to visitwhile he was well enough to drive.

Entering the grounds I looked up and sawthe flagwe lovedand he died for along with the POW-MIA flag flying.You all know the feeling of pride you havein your friends and loved ones that pay such a high pricefor their countryandwould do it all over again.

A Milwaukee police officer played Amazing Grace on the pipes for Bob in honor of his time spent after Vietnam as a Police Officer in Chicago. The Navy Hymn was played. The flag was presented by the honor guard to his daughter. The First Cav was represented by the young man who played taps. I don't know all the patches but I damn sure know that one and will never forget the men on this forum that it represents to methat have loved and prayed for me and myfamily.

At the endof thedaythere wasamagnificentsunset of cloudsreflecting pinks andgoldsof the sun's raysas though it was special ordered by Bobtoremind us to keep lookin'up.

Thank you all again for your love and prayers.We have lost another member of our extended family,the sister of my daughter in law. A young mother withtwo children.She had a hard fight with cancer also and is finally at peace.We buried Bob on the 28th she passed on the 29th. We will bury her on Monday.This is not going to be easy. She was a beautiful young woman full of love and faith. An encourgement to all around her.

Please forgive me for being as the song says "one poor correspondent andto to hard to find" you all are in my prayers and on my mind. I know each and everyone of you have your own ruck that can get mighty heavy at times.

Angels on your Six....

Traded some enjoyable posts with Bob [Dead Man Walking]. Quite a guy. Arrow, you know my heart goes out to you and the rest of Bob's family, and I know it was his time and that he was ready. I know Death came knocking on his door a couple of times before this, and he WASN'T ready. Yeah,......quite a guy.

Though we all have to move on in some time or manner those of us who know each other will never loose those memories that remain. Your loss is tragic and your pain so very deep. But we will pray for you and in our hearts we will keep, He's gone for now but so is the pain. He's now one of God's soldiers and he knows just how much you all cared about him.

My best to you and your family during these difficult times.
