Helen,

We are so sorry to hear about Bob. He will truly be missed by everyone. He was truly blessed with his talent of music. We are so glad we had the chance to share that talent with him. He was such a blessing to our group. We enjoyed his company and loved the sound of the steel. He made our songs sound so sweet. God is blessed to have him in his choir now.

May God be with you in your time of loss. If you need us, please contact us. We are here for you.
