i was wondering how to get a message to bob's wife about what he meant to me.  i
found out about his passing just before i was to leave for town for food
donation pick ups.  it hit me like a hard wave...inside my heart i feel quiet.

Dear Audrey,

we have an animal sanctuary for special needs animal beings.  when i began the
internet exploration many years ago the CS list was the second forum i found.  i
had tried silver over the years with mixed results, usually finding it
ineffective.  as i read i understood that the best silver i could use was the
silver i make.  Ode built us a prototype gallon gen that is still going strong
today.  I would read your husband's post and learned so much from them.  i so
appreciated his dry wit and cranky demeanor...might say we are kindred's in how
we approach the world.

i never communicated with your husband personally but i always treasured his
post.  he had an attention to detail that is impressive by any standards.
occasionally he would post about his condition and say he didn't know how much
longer he could hold out but that he would keep on going till the going stopped.

heart wise...i just felt his heart.  such a good, kind and loving heart.  even
when he would get frustrated he would always come back and give it one more go.
must have been frustrating for him because he always laid out the information so
clearly and just wanted folks to 'get it'.  he wasn't about smoke screens and
magic mirrors...'just the facts mam, just the facts'.

your husband has helped so many people...so so many.  he has also helped so many
animal beings...at our sanctuary many many hundreds.  he made this planet a
better place for his giving.

i always love reading melon-thomas benedict's story of how he was dead for at
least an hour, what he saw and how he now understands the cycle of life.  when i
read 'ole bob' had passed over i knew where he is and what he is seeing.

please know how much we all respected him and cared for him.  please know how
much we all extend our hearts to you.

with so much respect and affection,

rose
