Linda,\r\n Our hearts go out to you and your family, May God give you comfort during this most difficult time.
Bob was a dear faithful man! He had such wisdom and stregnth! I enjoyed our visits together whether they were in LA, MN or Missouri! Many prayers cover his family today and the days ahead!
Linda, I don't know if you remember me from Fort Polk or not, but I am so very sorry about Robert's passing. I remember when I was there as a case manager you always talked about Robert, your daughters and your grandchildren, particularly Keyana. There was always pride and joy in your voice when you spoke of them. \r\n\r\nTime is a great healer of heartbreak and pain, but not of loss, and it cannot take away all of your memories. Rejoice in those memories; it was something I had to learn to do and I found myself smiling again...\r\n\r\nYou have so many friends there who can be there for you in person when you need them, but please know I am praying for peace for you and your family.\r\n\r\nSince I have no other way to do this, would you please tell Sandra Babineaux that I asked about her. I have missed our Thursday meals at the mess hall.\r\n\r\nPlease take care of yourself and I wish you well.\r\n\r\nJanie Stailey, RN, now retired
We love you Uncle Robert. I just want to tell my family to hang in there and that you all have all our love and sympathy.\r\n\r\n . Sarah Wilks-Gooch
Praying for all of you! Knowing he will be missed
To The Poteat Family you have our prayers
Uncle Bob will be missed greatly by me And my family, he gave us great advice throughout my military career on life family and career. We will miss the summers spent with him and family. I will never forget the time we were on the boat trolling around the lake and Bob thought he had a big one on,but what really happened was he caught a snag earlier and all his line was out of the reel. We laughed so hard as he cut his line and just restrung it right there. \r\n
Linda and family: We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers and wishes are with you.
Ms. Linda, Donita, & Lesley, We want to express our condolences to you all. We are sorry for the loss of your husband, father, and friend. He is now up in heaven watching over all of you, especially the grandchildren. He is now able to watch all of the games to cheer them on! With love, Jerry & Lisa Williams
Just remember he is with the angels now. He is looking down on you all and spreading his wings covering you with Grace.
