Sincere Thanks to WCI

Re: Sincere Thanks to WCI

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,

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

Bob,
I had missed seeing you here, but thought you'd migrated south for the winter. I am so sorry to hear that you lost your mother. But, I'm so glad that you got to spend time with her in her last days--that is such a precious gift. I know she was so proud of you--for your tremendous carving talent and the great person you are. It seems we never outgrow the need for our parent's approval.

You are in my thoughts and prayers--and I hope each day eases your pain--and enhances your great memories of a wonderful woman.

Cancer has plagued my family and I just hate it, you just got to remember the good times.

Re: Sincere Thanks to WCI

Bob, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I received my copy of WCI magazine on Saturday and was so pleased to see you on the cover and to read your article. I can only imagine how pleased and proud your Mother had to have been, of both you and your daughter!

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you! Deborah

Bob, you and your family have my deepest sympathy. Been where you are at. No words I can say can heal but time might ease. God bless you and your family.

Loved your article by the way. Look forward to picking your brain one day. Does your family have maritime ties? Were you a sailor?
