Hi Dad. Another year has gone by without you and it still is so hard without you being here with us. Betty and I missed taking you to Bingo on your birthday. Your evening out with the girls…..Mom is back with you and we miss her very much also. The two of you be good and know that you are in our thoughts daily. Love and miss you both. Patti
Hi Dad. Another year without your sweet smile. Dosher is still going strong. I remember when you saved him and brought him home for Betty, she already know you were the one she wanted. You lit up like a Christmas tree with that little dog and she loved you very much, all we had to do was watch the two of you together to see the love shining right back. We miss you very much. Love you daughter, Patti
Hi Dad. The birds are chirping and the sun is trying to come out. You would have liked a day like today. Mom is taking real good care of Dobbie. We miss you and you are forever in our thoughts. Love, your daughter, Patti
Hi Dad. Mom is with you again and I know you welcomed her with open arms. Know that she was a trooper but the doctors could not figure out what was wrong. She fought until the end. We all try to remain strong and go on without the two of you in our lives, but it is so hard sometimes. The both of you are with us always and that will keep us going. Little “Dobie” has made up his mind to stay with Betty and Brian and they will take wonderful care of him for you both. Love to the both of you.
my heart goes out to all of roys family friends. I had only met him a few times, he is my husbands great uncle. It was a pleasure knowing him. We actually gave his dog dobbie to him almost 7 and half yrs ago and i know she was taken such good care of. she is all he ever spoke about when we saw him. It made me feel so good knowing she had such a wonderful home with him and elsie and that they loved her so much! Im sure dobbie will miss him dearly along with many many many others. My deepst sympathy
TO DAD BOBBY AND GRANDMAL ELSIE,I WAS SO SORRY TO HEAR OF PAP’S PASSING.THOUGH I HAD ONLY MET HIM A COUPLE TIMES. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.LOVE MISY.
To my dearly beloved Aunt Elsie who was always there for me as I was growing up. We are deeply sorry for your loss. Memories keep us going in life and our children and grandchildren carry on and continue the legacy where we leave off. Our prayers are with you now, before, and always. We love you always and forever. God be with you.
