So very sorry. Praying
Dear Family,
I’m so sorry. Bob was a great guy and I always enjoyed his humor and his love. He was such a meek person and I was gifted with him being my cousin. Bob and Jerry came to Texas often to work for my Dad in the oilfield and they stayed in my Mom and Dad’s little rent house. We always had so much fun. You always knew that they loved you. I will miss Bob and his kindness, that smile, and his love. I know that I will see him again someday and I’ll be able to spot that smile a mile away.
I love and pray for you all. I know this is a tough time but I also know that God is in control.
I love you Bob, and I’ll see you again one day. You’re in my heart forever.??
Prayers for your family. Bob was a fine man who will be missed.
Bob was first class and will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family.

So sorry for your loss. Will be thinking of you and praying for your comfort.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your loved one. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rodgers family.
We are so sorry to hear this. Bob has been a lifelong long friend. We were class mates, team members in football, and shared rides to and from college. I have many fond memories of his laughter and smile. Also some great memories of wonderful meal at his folks house. Prayers for all of the family
Our prayers are with you all. So sorry.
My sister, Penny, and I are so sorry. We pray for God's comfort and strength for your whole family.
