Brother Bob, it would be a full book to say all I know and feel.
He lost mother when he was about 16 months old. With nine of us children,
I'm sure he did not get the personal care he needed. We had a wonderful
grandmother that stepped in to care for us. She gave all she had to give,
a lot of love. She kept us together. We all cared for each other.
We all helped in what way we could. I know of no other family that has
the closeness we all have for each other. Bob was a wonderful person all his life.
He had so much love and kindness. He never showed any anger, just love.
I'm going to miss him, but I'm happy for him - He's with Mother, where we all will be someday.
May he rest in peace. He is gone from here, but not gone from our hearts. Love you brother - sister Margaret
