My dad's oldest brother, my Uncle Bob, passed away peacefully on Saturday morning. My dad said it best, "he had a tough life, but was strong in his faith and is at peace and is well with the Lord now. He was loved by many." My Uncle Bob suffered from mental illness for the majority of his life. While our family grieves his passing, it is also so exciting to think of Uncle Bob in heaven, reunited with relatives, and completely healed of his illness. I'll see you again, Uncle Bob.
Our proximity to Rochester has been such a blessing the last few weeks. I'm glad we were able to see my Uncle Bob when we were up in Rochester two weekends ago. Luke got to meet him for the first time and Madeline for the second time. This past weekend, we drove up to Rochester again and spent time with everyone. We will drive up once more for his memorial service in mid February. We're getting good at that drive...when there isn't a blizzard! :)
I found a few pictures from recent years on my computer and wanted to share them with you all...
I'm pregnant with Madeline in this one so I'm guessing it was around May 2013
