Hello all,

 
I donĀ“t know if any of you know Bob Byrnes from the AF board and other support boards.   I just wanted to let those of you that do know him that he is in hospice and was admitted there a couple of weeks ago.
 
As of yesterday we heard that he is in the final decline, he is not respoding to or understanding questions and is mostly sleeeping 
 
He is a wonderful man who brightened the days of many people with his daily greetings and love quotes.  He gave so much and asked for so little in return.
 
I ask that those of you that know him as well as others pray for his peaceful journey to heaven where he will be with God who he believes in and loves.
 
Thank you.

Bob has been in my prayers for some time now.  He will be missed.  I hope that when my time comes, I face my final days with as much grace and dignity as he has. I don't know the man, but wish him a peaceful transition in passing over. I also read on this forum, I pray for him too. so sad for those he will leave behind but happy for him too be painfree & going home.

Maria,

Thank you for posting this.  I feel very blessed to be able to call Bob a friend.  The way he has handled being ill has been an inspiration for so many.  He certainly has touched many people's hearts with his obvious and overflowing joy of life and his strong faith.

Bob and his family remain in my thoughts and prayers.  May he find rest and peace in the arms of God.

I read about Bob on a couple of other boards...he seems to be loved by many. 

Prayers and good thoughts to Bob, his friends and family.

My first thing to do in the morning was to read Bob's morning greeting on the other boards.  I will miss him and his cheery personality.  He had such a brave outlook on the inevitable.  God Bless you Bob. I'm real sorry to hear this. I don't know him or of him....but it sounds very sad. I will pray for him and his family.
 
I know well how hard it is to lose a friend from one of these forums. I remember when Hula passed away it struck me so hard. I still have days where I'll think of things I wish I could email her about. It's amazing how strong the bonds are that we form throuh these forums.
 
Wishing you all peace as you deal with the slow loss of a dear friend.
Peace be with him.

Bob has passed away.  RIP Bob, you are with the angels and they are all redheads.  Those who knew Bob will understand the redhead reference.  I will miss you [QUOTE=Dalmatinka]

I'm so sorry. I don't think I knew Bob and it sounds like I truly missed out. Heaven has another angel.
