You are thought of each and everday my love. You are always in my mind and heart. I love you and miss you, so much. Today I am reminded of the wonderful career you had and your selfless service to your country, without complaint, expectation or payback. A true definition of a hero, our hero, my own special hero. I love you, you are always with me and Michael and will be forever.xxxxxxxxxxxx

I never met Bob but he was the kind of person that I would have liked!

I found out about Dish's passing about a year ago. I first met and worked with Dish at SWC. He was very laid back guy, but could still get his point across to the students when needed. He was A great man whom I will dearly miss. God bless you Dish.

To a fellow U of F alum and vet, who shared my daughter's birthday. You were a gentle giant and such a great man. God needed you there and so many were left to miss you. Rest in peace.

Happy Birthday my love, I think of you everyday and miss you so much... I remember the way we used to celebrate your birthday on our cell phones, and to put it in your words, tee, hee, hee. I love you so much and miss you too. Michael sends a special birthday hug and kiss. We love you...

It has been a year and I still expect to see you come through the door or around a corner with that goofy smile and twinkle in your eye. I think of you every day. When we get together we always tell "Bob" stories, share memories, celebrate your life. You will be with me always.

It's so hard to believe that one year has already passed, as you said Lou, Michael will grow up to know what a kind, generous and honest person his father was and we were all extremely lucky to have been honored to have him in our lives......
thinking of you and Michael each and every day..........all my love Lou xoxoxo

Louise,

One year ago we all lost someone special and I miss Bob no less. I wish you strength, blessings, and comfort. Know that I do think about Bob and miss him. His positive attitude, sense of humor, and dedication to always doing his best for himself, his family, and the team is what I remember best about Bob.

Take care,

Randy

Part III - I kept my promise and I will be graduating in May…. Michael is trying his best by keeping busy in sports and school. Your family has been amazing and loving in so many wonderful ways. You are not forgotten, you will never be forgotten. You always told me that being a good soldier was something that you did and being a good husband and father is who you are. What an amazing man you were, I was the luckiest woman in the world to be your wife, and mother to your son. We promise to continue on as best we can day by day. Know that we love you now and always will. Michael will always know how much of a wonderful father he has. As for me, I will raise him how we talked about, I will put one foot in front of the other and carry on. You will be forever my friend, my love, my life…till we meet again….my love….I love you….. Louise and Michael xxxoooxxx

Part II - Losing you has been the hardest thing I have ever had to cope with; there are no words to describe the pain I feel when you are not here. You would be so proud of our little one; he has had a difficult time with you gone and asks for you every day, many times over. I try my best to remind him of the good times you shared together and the good times we shared as a family, but it is very difficult even on the best of days. I talk to you when I can and pray that someday you will answer me. My life has forever changed, losing you; and I am forever blessed from being loved by you. I love you more than words can say…. You were an amazing husband and father and in fourteen years we shared a love most people don’t experience in a lifetime.
