It has moved me so much that I would like to know where the image generates? Thanks so much!

Bob is smiling down upon you in a very large way. Such a beautiful tribute~ and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We were so blessed at all the people who came to his funeral, and we were so impacted by the stories they told us of what Bob meant to them and all he imparted in their life. Bob was not only a teacher, he was always quick with a compliment and in encouragement. I will always believe he is one of the most intelligent men I have ever met. Even today we continue to find lessons from him. He left them everywhere for us! Bob was actually quite simple. He was about honor, respect, country and God. He was a very passionate man~ He'd give the shirt off his back because material things, were just that, material things and if he could bring joy to someone, he did. Easily, and freely. He called me Ivy Lou since I was 14 years old, and only people who loved me as much as him, or knew me as he did has ever been allowed to call me that;) See it meant something when he said it. Bob and I were a lot a like- we mirrored each other in many ways and that meant in our walk together, we surely got to know each other very well! Our passions are sometimes quite hard for others to understand~ but, he and I understood it and loved each other deeply. He taught me everyone makes mistakes, and to always forgive, but to especially forgive myself for my own mistakes and keep trying. He taught me that sometimes people let you down in big ways, but they need to live their own life; forgive. He taught me unless you walk in another persons shoes you never, truly, know or understand their lives, be kind. Don't judge. Just love, and give them peace. He always loved me, deeply, no matter what. This is a wonderful tribute to Bob and we thank you so much, and we are so blessed to know how he impacted your life also. Love and prayers from his family~ Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753077374689514597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-77855373508898334772013-04-22T15:23:26.392-04:002013-04-22T15:23:26.392-04:00Thank you, MOV.Thank you, MOV.Joy Neighborshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517577511576153582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-82249812446612892882013-04-22T15:22:55.277-04:002013-04-22T15:22:55.277-04:00Jill, you summed it up perfectly!

Or, I wonder what happened when someone was young. I love reading the tributes left by others. They are places with many stories to tell, waiting for someone just to come by and listen.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640502898758753377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-46068122496684560592013-04-20T11:12:10.497-04:002013-04-20T11:12:10.497-04:00What a lovely tribute.What a lovely tribute.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13659630559383938919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-34114187950283813482013-04-19T11:50:35.384-04:002013-04-19T11:50:35.384-04:00That's a shame Bill.
