Thank you all so much for the kind words. You can't imagine what being a part of this group has meant to me during the years that my Aunt was ill. You've all been so kind and supportive.

Yesterday my husband and I chose to spend our anniversary with our Uncle Bob. Although at times it was hard, it was very nice looking at old pictures and telling old stories, kind of wandering down memory lane. After crying for three days straight, I finally "felt" her with me for the first time today and that was a very good feeling.

The things you have all said are very true. Amy, I AM a stronger person for having known her.
Nelie, she was a remarkable woman and as Uncle Bob said, she wormed her way into your heart and just didn't let go. He said that's how he got "hooked" for 44 yrs. We had to smile at that. Eileen, it's interesting that you called her Rosie because to me she's always been Aunt Ro. Uncle Bobby had "Rosie" emblazened on a LOT of things that he loved. He's a older gentleman of 61 now, but if you had lifted the hood of his impeccably kept race car 35/40 years ago, you would have seen "Rosie" with a rose painted perfectly under the hood.

Please pray for our dear Uncle. He is such a good man and he is hurting so badly. He absolutely adored his wife and can't imagine being without her. We're a little bit worried about him.

Love to all.
