To my dearest friends and family:

As most of you know, Bob lost his father unexpectedly on Friday. We quickly drove over night to South Carolina to be there with Bob's family and make arrangements for burial. Monday was the viewing and Tuesday was the funeral. The boys and I made the 9 hour trip home today and Bob will follow in a week or so. Jim would have been proud of the full military honors bestowed upon him, but think that he was not worthy of them. I, as his daughter-in-law, who loved him dearly thinks otherwise, as he gave his Country 25 years of service. This is a man I know, loved his family dearly and was proud of all of them, as well as his Grandkids. It was an honor to know him and be called his daughter-in-law. Below are a few pictures that I took at the funeral, with the families permission.

I will miss you Pops..................always. And look forward to the time we meet again.

Love to all,
Chrissy
