"My thoughts and prayers are with Katina & family at this difficult time. Though we know you are in a much better place you will be missed. I will always remember your smiling face when I drove into the driveway and you where sitting outside. I will always remember seeing you sitting at your little table eating and telling me what a wonderful cook Kat was. I will always remember you when I see a worn out broom or bag or M&M's. You were the best! I know you are watching over Kat and Babaiegirl, don't worry we are going to help her get through this. I know she will miss you so much. She was such a wonderful caregiver. I can remember you telling me how good she was to you. Rest In Peace Bob, I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. "
