H had as big of a heart as anyone I have ever known. He was always the first with a joke & easy to make laugh, even if the joke wasn't that good. So many of the stories of my youth include H and our gang of mischievious youths growing up in Cheyenne. Our thoughts, prayers, & love go out to Michelle, Jake, Tyler, Billy, Jim Jim, & Bill. I will miss H all the rest of my days. Gary & Niki Hoem
My sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort knowing others care and share their hope found in Gods Word at 1Peter 5:7.
All our prayers are with you all. Forrest Weakland and family.
Our thoughts and prayers to Michelle and family. Jay & Katy Kupec
Michelle and family: I am sorry for your loss. Bob was a good friend to many people.
I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to Bob's family. There's such a sense of helplessness when someone we love dies. I'd like to share some scriptural thoughts that really helps me. Prayer is so valuable at this time but it's not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor.4:7 says that God can give us, "... power beyond what is normal ", to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget but it means we recover. The reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, "... all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out ". Jesus was referring to the resurrection, this is our hope. 2 Cor.1:3 describes our Creator as, "... the God of all comfort ". One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort (Ps.83:18) be your comfort now during this time of sorrow.
