Prayers for your family in this time of loss. I will miss my best friend every day. He made me laugh, he
gave me a purpose to get up everyday and go to work. Now he made me cry. The tears are for his painless life and the
joy he will share with all those who have gone before him. I know he will be watching over all of us and keeping
us in his heart. God is with you until we meet again.

I will miss Bob and his smiling face every single day. It was my pleasure to be able to
have him in my life for the last couple years at Elmcroft. He always made me laugh and smile like it was his job. Thank you
to the family for allowing Elmcroft to care for him and allowing us to have him in our lives. I know we all loved him and
will miss him deeply.
