Rob, we were close friends for quite a few yrs as our boys were playing ball together. Our family's get togethers will never be forgotten. Wish we could have gotten together over the last couple of yrs but we always think of this when someone leaves us. You were a good friend and I will never forget our times together! Love ya Bobby! Tim Sandel & family.

To the Shaner Family:
We grieve the loss of our wonderful neighbor, Bob. He was always full of jest and offered his assistance to us many times. His devotion to God, Family, Country, and the US Marine Corps is an example for all of us to follow.
God bless all of you and Semper Fidelis, Bob.

Bob and we only just met 18 months ago but instantly hit it off. We shared many days of laughter welcomed each others families into our lives. Sometimes I felt we were like little school girls cause we would call one another 1,2 ok sometimes 8 0r 9 times a day just to see what each was up to. I'm truly going to miss you and all the great time we spent together. Rest in Peace my friend xoxo

Sorry to hear about this tragedy, Know that Families are forever. It helps that we understand the plan of salvation. But the hurting heart, the loneliness and empty feelings will take time to heal. Just remember that God knows and his spirit will always be with you. He is the true Comforter.
