Love,
Your Big Brother from Another Mother, Bill

Dearest Doodle,
There are so many things I want to say to you. I just wish we could give each other one of those big hugs and kisses like we always did. I miss your big blue eyes and your sweet,sweet smile.

Mr. Bill, Mrs. Theresa, and All of Doodle’s Family,

I can not express in words how sorry I am to hear of such a great loss. I consider the years spent growing up on Bee Street a true blessing in getting to know a wonderful group of people. Doodle was like another brother to our family and he will sadly be missed. May God give you strength to help you through this painful time.

Robert you will be greatly missed by so many people. We know you have gone home to be with the LORD and there is comfort knowing this. Rest in peace Robert.
Love Always
Kathy McNeill

LOVE YOU ROBERT aka "DOODLE"

Bill, Our hearts go out to you and your family. We were your next door neighbors on Bee Street and thought the world of you and Doodle. When Rickie came home he was in tears on Saturday after hearing this sad news. Bill you and Doodle were the best neighbors anyone could ever ask for. Please know that we are sadden too.

I was so sorry to hear about Robert. I know that this is a very difficult time to deal with. I pray that you all are able to find comfort to endure by relying on the strength only God can give(2 Corinthians 1:3,4) In the meantime please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I didnt know Robert that well, I just went to high school with him. What I do remember about him are his beautiful eyes and sweet demeanor. If his close friends and family were treated half as well as he treated a virtual stranger, they should count themselves lucky. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. We lost a kind and generous soul.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

It's been a long time since I last saw or talked to you. Now I'm really sorry it has been so long. You will and are missed.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Cousins,
We are saddened to learn of Doodle's passing and offer our condolences. We still remember and talk of visiting with Doodle at the family dinner held at St. Pauls Presbyterian Church. Take care.
Love,
Freda, Amanda, Anna, Andrea

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
