Bob my thoughts are with you my friend to you and your family. I know it is hard to loose a loved one no matter the circumstances. I lost my brother 20+years ago he was so young but I still miss him. I am so fortunate to have both my parents and I see them as much as I can. Sincere condolances to you and your family.

Bob- my sincere condolences on your loss to you and all your family.
it was nice of WCI to provide a cover of their latest issue for your Mom to see in her final hours,and to show her that others know what she had known for a longtime.

Bob;

So sorry to learn of your great loss.
I can't think of anyone that is more closely connected to a persons life, their well-being, and never-ending unconditional love than a mom.

I lost my dad eight years ago after a four year battle with cancer. At the time my mom, brother, and myself talked about how we just couldn't see any way of that deep pain in loss ever going away. Since then I can honestly say that time does heal and our late parent(s) would want us to continue living our lives to their fullest as their greatest wish... and especially from a mother.

I don't believe that the WCI making it to you in time for sharing with your mom was any coincidence. Continue to keep yourself busy, to live your life to the fullest, and to continue to share with others in the best way that you can. I'm sure that she would have wanted it this way.

Bob, please accept my condolences and heartfelt wishes for the healing of your broken hearts. Those of us who have lost parents know the sting of that loved one leaving.
Best,
Kathy

Bob,

I'm very sorry for your loss. I wish you and your family best.

As is the consensus, cancer is the scourge of life.

A friend of mine who was a paramedic for almost 25 years right up until last year when he retired, died of cancer yesterday. He was 61. He was a great guy, and was a great medic. I and a lot of others will miss him.

Bob,
Please accept my
condolences. It sounds like you come from a loving family, that will support each other over the years to come.
I lost my father in 1955, & my mother in 1973. I still have fond memories after all these years.
So keep your chin up.
Regards, Dick
