My deepest sympathies over the loss of Bobbie. Please know that the feelings of grief that you’re experiencing will soon pass and be replaced with wonderful memories of times past. The comfort from the scriptures can help during this difficult time. John 5:28,29, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” Knowing that we can see our loved ones again in a future paradise earth can give us hope and the will to carry on. My sincere condolences, Dave
