Saying goodbye feels impossible. When I first started caring for you, I never could have predicted how quickly you would become family to me. I am going to miss your witty sense of humor, the gentle way you apologized if you ever thought you’d hurt my feelings, your love for morning coffee, and the way you’d sternly—but with a smile—remind me that “Miss Sandy is the boss.” Our daily routines meant the world to me. You taught me so much about resilience, patience, and grace. Thank you for letting me into your life and for all the laughs we shared. You will always hold a very special place in my heart.

HaPpY 48th wedding anniversary to you today, my sweetie pie. We planned on celebrating, but not like this. Nadine brought me a bouquet of beautiful flowers today, saying she knew you would want her to do it. I think of you every minute. It is not easy being here without you, but I know God will get Kelli, Shoua, and me through this time. I love you. I always will.

Bob, you will truly be missed. For 49 years, you, my sister, and I shared countless wonderful memories. There are simply too many to name. As I told you, you are now in paradise, and someday we will all be together again. Until then, rest in peace and know that you are loved and will never be forgotten. ❤️
