Tributes
"I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand one belonged to me the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life. I questioned the Lord about it Lord You said that once I decided to follow You You would walk with me all the way but I have noticed that during the most trouble some times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times when I needed You most You would leave me? The Lord replied My precious child I would never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you.Remember the God carried Bobby in his arms with him. He is an angel that watches out for all of us."
"Bobby is now one of the stars in the sky looking down on us every chance he gets. He is the breeze that blows across our faces. He is rain that falls all around us and the snow flakes that drift softly down. He is everywhere with us at all times. Bobby is loved by many and missed by all. I love you Bob......"
