Dear Bobby and Family,
I'm very sorry about your loss. It's especially hard when we loose our loved ones so unexpectedly. There is a comforting thought in the Bible in Isaiah 25:8,9. It shows God will soon eliminate death and the pain that it brings to us. Until that time may "the God of all comfort" sustain you (2 Cor 1:3).
So sorry to hear about Sheila.She was one hell of a woman. My thoughts and prayers are will all of you.

We lived on the opposite side of the hill as Pete but we still considered each other neighbors. Many time we have caught each others "run-a-way" animals. They were always well taken care of and well loved. Thanks to you Pete for being a great neighbor. There are lots of animals for you to love and some I'm sure you have been missing for a long time. Peace be with you and your family. Mike & Trixie Smith
