Cousin Bob, we have very fond memories. You were very well

Our Special Condolences to All the Family...

I have so many wonderful memories of one of the dearest "daddys" ever! I think Bob knew something about EVERYTHING, and if he didn't, he learned! He shared gardening tips; he danced with me at Robin and John's wedding; he always cared about other peoples' lives; and his smile could warm you all over. I know he's watching over all of you, now and always. Peace at last, my dear friend and daddy! I'm sorry I missed being with all of you on Monday. Much love,

We send our heart felt condolences to all of Bob's family. He was a
a very dedicated volunteer whom was loved by all of us at the bank.
Even when he could not volunteer any longer, he would come down and
make a donation. He will be missed.##imported-begin##Puyallup Food Bank Volunteers##imported-end##
My Dearest Dad,
A sweeter man I have not met. Your strength and kindness during the past year always amazed me. I miss talking to you on the phone...that "Hi Honey" greeting is profoundly absent. Even with all the grief we feel....I will celebrate knowing you are in heaven with a new healthy body and unimaginable love, peace, and joy. Thank you for all that you did while raising us. I miss you Dad...I love you, and will especially miss your "duck quack". And am so grateful you are free of earthly pains and difficulties. xxxooo
Love,

Dear Peggy and Robin,
My prayers and thoughts are with you in the loss of your Father. I still remember him when we attended the People's church before it became Covenant Celebration. Garret Treadwell passed a message along to me of your expressed well wishes when he saw you last. I too, get misty eyed as April 23, 2010 marks one year since my late Sister Lorraine-Jane passed (age 69)from fighting cancer for five years. I took family medical leave for two months to be her hospice care back in Sitka, Alaska. She was the ultimate example of godliness, love, and forgiveness and the glue that held our family together. My sister often quoted me this Scripture, "whether I live or whether I die, I am the Lord's." I am sure the hope we have is eternal. People who came to her and husband Glenn's home kept seeing angels and even in the funeral home, some elders saw angels standing the midst of the casket area and walking the aisles, my own sister saw them hovering over her before they descended right into her abdominal and chest area. The heat of their presence was so extreme I called my brother over to her bedside and that is when she told us about it. I say all this to encourage you because your parents loved the Lord. This I know as a believer, we may take our last breath in this world, but our very next breath is in heaven. Take care.
As we say in Russian Orthodoxy: Christ is Risen from the dead, trampling down death, by death, and upon those in the tomb bestowing life.
I am part of the lesser clergy of the Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church in Tacoma (tacomaorthodox.com)
Sincerely in Christ,
