  2. Bob was a dear, sweet man that will be sorely missed. My children are in part today who they are from the guidence they recieved from Bob and Gaylene, not just through their youth group, but watching Bob and Gaylenes daily walk with Christ. The Heavens are shining brighter with Bob there. We love you both and will greatly miss Bobs presence in this life, but looking forward to seeing him again in the next. Fred and Pam Moreton
