May GOD Bless and comfort you all. BOB (Bird) will be deeply missed. He was a great friend on and off the CB radio. Always had a smile on his face and was just a ray of sunshine to be around. Love and prayers to all.

I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your loved one. I understand the pain and confusion that can follow. I wanted to offer my deepest condolences and offer this scripture that has brought me great comfort: Revelation 21:4. It highlights one of God’s many promises about the future.
