Dave's Tribute
Girls,
I started a new thread because I wanted to make sure you all saw Dave's obituary. He was such a larger than life guy, and loved by so many. I haven't a clue as to how to insert links here, but if you google the Harrisburg, PA Patriot-News obituaries and look up David Francis, you will see it. Yes, we were both very lucky to be in love and to have wonderful kids in a world full of sorrow.
Love
Bobbie

Ticked off, tired and lost, but comforted by you all at the same time. Thank you for reading his obit. For some reason, I want everyone I know to know what I've lost, and I lost him a while ago. Damn you, cancer.
Love
Bobbie

Love you, honey. You lost a great man, your soul mate. The father of your boys. You deserve to rant, rave and be royally pissed off. The obit was very well written. I loved the touches of humor...it really showed that he loved a good laugh.
Damn you, cancer, indeed.
-
What a beautiful tribute Bobbie.
((((HUGS))))

Bobbie,
You have every right to be ticked off! What an amazing guy you had! He is so accomplished, you must be so dang proud to be his wife and I'm sure he was to be your husband!!! I'm so sorry for your loss. I continue to think of you daily and hope that you know you and the boys are in my thoughts and prayers constantly!
-
Bobbie,
I'm ticked off for you. Cancer is taking way too many wonderful people. Makes me so mad. I am praying for you and your boys and hope for you that every day gets better and that every moment spent together is remembered with joy. Waiting for the sunrise, but what beauty it holds when complete.
Prayers!

I'm so sorry Bobbie! The tribute was beautiful. What a guy! I have you in my thoughts and I'm giving you a big hug (in my mind, unfortunately). Some of your posts have shown the strong links of love in your family. I'm sure those bonds are going to help the boys and you through this. But it still sucks.
Love,
Christy

Bobbie, sending you light and love in my thoughts and prayers.

Ii am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I know there is nothing that can be sais, but I pray that you and your boys will be comforted by the memories of happier times together. The memories will always be with you.

Dear Bobbie,
I read Dave's lovely tribute. What a full life he lead. Cut far too short... I am sad and angry for you too. Stupid evil cancer.
Gentle hugs to you and your boys. Wish I lived close by to give hugs and help in some way.
