    Bobby,

    God Bless you. You lived a good and kind man and you died a good and kind man. You were Carol’s angel and still are and will always be.
    I remember I told you, in one of the times Carol and I visited you in the nursing home, that we are one family. We were blessed by that. We did our best to be with you till the end. We thank God that we were able to stand by you while your real family were ignorant, worthless, and careless. We miss you down here on Earth. But good news for you Bobby, you are still and will always be with us. You left a lot in Carol and me too. You are still a family to me with Carol. We will always take care of Mama cat.

    In the end, may God gather us together in heaven one day.

    Sincerely yours,
    Toto

    Bobby, I love and miss you. I’m sure you and mom and laughing and smiling up there in heaven. I will always remember the times when I was little and we would get milkshakes. There is no bond stronger than blood family. And I know how much you loved us.

    Love,
    Gina
