Hi Bobs I know it’s been a while since I left you a message. I hope you are happy and I know you will be back to full health!! It must be amazing to see all the friends and family members we have lost over our 34 years together. It must have been a beautiful reunion with your dad because I know how much you missed him and your mum. It’s been a long lonely 17 almost 18 months without you!! We all love and miss you terribly but until we meet again Bobs please sleep well. Love you forever and no one will ever take your place in our hearts xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Bobs I can’t believe I’m writing this. In 4 days it will be your anniversary and you will have been away from us for 1 year!! Lauren, John and me are struggling on but we’ll neverever stop missing/loving you. I’m still doing the same thing as I have done since you have been gone. I absolutely hate going upstairs to bed knowing that you physically can’t be seen. I know you are with us all 24/7 I know you are in our bedroom spiritually. What I would give to have a hug from you some days are worse than others. I’love you and miss you more and more each day. John and Lauren send you their love and miss you. Until we’re reunited Bobs goodnight and I’ll never ever say the other word xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Bobs here we are 9 months down the line without you. I speak for the kids too when I say the pain, sense of loss for us are still as raw if not worse as the worst days of our lives happened. You should still be here larger than life beside us. You were taken far far too soon you had a lot more damage to do. The volume of cards people floral tributes we received were an absolute testimony to the man you were. I totally and wholeheartedly agree with the person who wrote or once said ‘the loneliest place on earth for me is the bedroion.’ You and I spent 34 years together every night. I now make up every excuse in the book at night not to go upstairs. I miss you more than words can ever say. I’m so happy for you because I know you are suffering no more. I love and miss you so so much until we meet again Bobs sleep tight

Happy Father’s Day Bobs. I know you will be ecstatic to have your dad on this precious day. I hope you have passed on a father’s day message to my dad or ‘big ginger’ as he was so fondly known.
I know you are with us every second of every day but although we know you are here and it’s fantastic to feel your presence. I just have a huge gaping hole that will never ever go away and what Lauren John and myself would give to have you here with us.
I also know you are filling me with the strength I need during this trying time. I know you will watching over Fr Burke. That’s this family lost a wonderful man dad and husband and now we’re on the verge of losing our saviour. Lauren and I in particular. I’ll say goodnight to you just now and I’ll speak to you soon. Night night Bobs there will never be another as special as you. Fr Burke is another man who does not deserve wh he has either. Love you lots and lots the three of us xxxxxxxx

Hi Bobs I can’t believe you have been gone for 61/2 months from John Lauren and myself. It’s getting harder and harder living without you. You don’t know how sorely missed you are from so many people. We knew our home would never be a proper home again without you being here with us. On a personal level I am on automatic pilot just going through the motions. I know you will be back to full health and running here and there as we used to do together. Happy Father’s Day when it comes and although we can’t see you physically we feel your presence with us all day everyday. I can’t wait and long for the day when we will be together again. Love you lots always xxxxxxxxxxxx

What a wonderful man you were. You were one of a kind taken too soon. You are missed every day and I miss your cheery face. I know you will be feeding the birds sitting with Jakey listening to your music. Hope you at at peace my friend and looking over your family at all times.
Love and miss your till I see you againxx

Hi Bobs it’s been a while since I sent you a message. I know you are with John every step of the way on his trip. As Boi said in a post that he’s going to a gig with his old buddies son whom he shared a lot of good/bad times with. So he hopes ‘wee Boab will be looking down with a smile on his face and a warmth in his heart I know I would if it was my son enjoying a show with Boab’ I don’t need to say you have left a lot of broken hearts and a legacy of just how much of a kind hearted one of a dying breed of gentlemen. I know how much I miss you and I know John and Lauren feel the same. You are loved more than ever and always will be. I hope you enjoy the show tonight until we meet again your loving wife and my other half Lorraine xxxxxxxxxxx

Happy New Year Bobs. Until we meet again. You are loved more than words can tell. Love you always. You are with us in spirit. Love and miss you so so much xxxx

Happy 64th birthday Bobs. We love and miss you more and more each passing day. Love you Bobs xxxxxxxx

Goodnight Bobs until we meet again. You will always be in my heart and my right side is completely missing. It was us right to the end and what a fight you put up. Your wife and you always were and always will be my best friend xxxxxxxxxxxx

Goodnight Bobs until we meet again and you will always live in my heart and my right side is missing. You were right it was us against the world right to the end. Your loving wife and best friend xxxxxxxxxx
