My sincere deepest condolences on your loss. While I can never know the depth of your pain, I do know how badly I have felt losing family members, especially the good ones. I know this one hurts. I am so sorry.

Bob,

I am very sorry you and your family have suffered such a loss. Words may not heal your wounds but crying and remembering and time and love will. Peace be with you, your daughter and all who are touched by such an unexpected tragedy.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Bro. Bob; I know there are no feeble words that I can say to help comfort during this time of grief. They say that time is the great healer, but that doesn't help at all in the interim. Please know that there is a brotherhood of steel guitar players (men and women) who join me in feeling just a minute portion of your loss and hope and pray that God will comfort you during this time. May God continue to bless you and your family and keep you close. :cry: Roger

Sorry to hear about this. It kind of comes with getting older but the ones like this which don't make any sense are the hardest to take. I hope God eases your path on this one.
