    Bobby, Sharon and Children,

    After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are the happy memories that we’ve shared with our loved ones who have passed, this is what keeps them alive in our hearts and in our minds, and they will continue to live on, through all of you.
    Bobby, if you feel like talking to someone, know that I am a good listener.

    Tony and Teresa Brooks
