So sorry to hear of uncle Bobs passing. I was always aware of how quiet he was , yet when he spoke, he always had something good to say. I know he will be missed by a lot of people, especially by his children and their families. He is now in heaven, reunited with aunt Lucy. Don't feel too sad. He is much happier now. God bless you all.

Bob was always the gentleman. I loved his stories. They always made me smile. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

With prayers for God's comfort and peace for your family.
A prayer from Celtic Daily Prayer:
The Darkness of Bereavement; Walking with Grief
Do not hurry
as you walk with grief
it does not help the journey.
Walk slowly,
pausing often;
do not hurry
as you walk with grief.
Be not disturbed
by memories that come unbidden.
Swiftly forgive;
and let Christ speak for you unspoken words.
Unfinished conversation
will be resolved in Him.
Be not disturbed.
Be gentle with the one
who walks with grief.
If it is you,
be gentle with yourself.
Swiftly forgive;
walk slowly,
pausing often.
Take time, be gentle
as you walk with grief.
