Guestbook

  1. Friends come and go, but brothers are always in our hearts. My brother Bob was a mentor before there was a word for it. For me he maintained that status even to death. Flawed as we all are, Bob was bigger than life. He loved his family deeply and was he was the keystone for his family and brothers. My sister-in-law, nephews, niece and their progeny already know that i know their.sorrow and grief. Grief is the cost of having love and so, for those of us who grieve deeply, it is testimony to the depth of our love. My prayers, thoughts and feelings Im sure are shared in our extended family.

  2. I would like to extend my condolences to the Pippen family. Death is truly an enemy that robs us of our precious loved ones. Matthew 54 tells us Happy are this who mourn, since they will be comforted. At times like this, our family and friends come together to offer us love and support. May your family be comforted during this time of loss.

  3. Bruce, I am so sorry about the Loss of Your Dad, I will always remember your Dad as the Manager of Sears when our Store was One of the Best around, I think often about our great times in the band at RMSH. Our Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Your Friend, Fred Adams
