My Deepest Sympathy to the Family
No one can ever prepare you for such a great loss; it comes like a fierce wind out of nowhere - and just about knocks you over. I am so sad to hear of the sudden loss of my Uncle Bobby.
My deepest condolences to Aunt Barbara and my cousin, Barbara on the loss of your husband and the loss of your father.
Hold on to your favorite memories to comfort you during this difficult time. My favorite memory of Uncle Bobby goes back in the day to all of those family gatherings with Pop-Pop, all the "Uncles" and sometimes even their "Uncles" too - all hudled in a group in the back yard, throwing fingers and yelling so loud that Uncle Bobby's face was red & blue, hearing that familar . . . DOO-eh, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto, nove and dieci . . . the Italian game of Morra. Then of course, it was listening in on all the "Uncles" telling their famous hunting & fishing stories (which I think they actually had names for each one) and the famous "debates" on which one of the "Uncles" really got the biggest deer or fish.
I'm blessed to have had such a wonderful Uncle Bobby in my life. My heart & prayers are with the entire family and all of his many friends during this difficult time.
Where Angel's Dwell
Barbara, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how very hard it is to go on without the love of your life by your side. He was a wonderful, kind, loving man. He will be missed by many. My heart go out to you as do my prayers
