Dear friends and family;

You may have received an e-mail from Bob on January 5th telling about the wonderful touch from God that miraculously improved his condition, which was confirmed by 2 of his doctors. As he had said, his test results were turning around right before Christmas. Because of God’s graciousness, Bob was able to come home on New Year’s Eve, 1 month after admission, after previously being told that he would not be going home again, but straight to hospice. After being home 11 days, sleeping in his own bed, being with friends and family, as well as his precious Scotty McTavish, he suddenly took a turn for the worse. The blood counts that had been climbing and cancer cells that had seemed to disappear, came back with a vengeance. The short of it is that he went into hospice 4 days later and succombed the next morning.

The Lord Jesus Christ took him home for the ultimate healing, and we now realize that the 10 days home were God’s way of letting Bob experience one final trip home to say goodbye before He took him home to eternity.

Bob will have a memorial celebration this Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 2:00 PM at Riverside Evangelical Free Church at 4080 Sweetgrass Lane, Bonsall, CA, 92003 (http://www.refc.org/). Following will be a reception at the church. The church is on the corner of CA-76 (Mission Rd.) and Sweetgrass Lane.

We thank you for all your prayers and support that you have given us over these difficult months. We hope those of you in the area will be able to come Saturday and help us celebrate his life with us.
Love,
Margie and Family


Bob is a special guy - for some of us he is remembered being on the track team, being active in Hi-Y, owning Gifford's Stationary in Fullerton, being a missionary with his wife Margie, being an active supporter of his church and Margie's musical career and being one of the originators of Powwow after our 50th reunion.
A personal remembrance - At my dad's memorial, Margie accompanied the soloist who sang "Impossible Dream" and seeing Bob unexpectedly after so many years.
As Ever, Jackie and Jay
