IIHer words, in his song
What she wrote about Bob, word for word, and the lines it became.
-
Who he was
Together for 70 years, married for sixty
In the song 0:13Seventy years of walking together, sixty as husband and wife
-
A memory
I loved just holding his hand, feeling his body next to mine… Made me feel protected and safe!
In the song 0:33I loved just reaching out for you, holding on so tight
Feeling you right next to me in the middle of the night
You made me feel protected, safe from any harm
-
Who he was
“Our Song” had always been Bobby Helms “SPECIAL ANGEL”
In the song 1:08We used to play that Bobby Helms, swaying sweet and slow
You called me your "Special Angel" all those years ago
-
Her message to him
Thank him for giving my life meaning! Although he called me his “special angel”, he has become that to me!
In the song 1:22Thank you for the meaning that you gave to every day
Bob, you are my special angel now
-
His legacy
facing a future without him DEVASTATING
In the song 1:29It's devastating waking up with you so far away
I face a quiet future that I never wanted here
-
What she misses
Bob was a great cook and loved preparing meals for those he loved! Loved the outdoors - gardening, harvesting and preserving what he cooked and grew! His enjoyment was camping
In the song 1:53I look out at the garden where you used to love to roam
Bringing all the harvest back into our happy home
You'd stand beside the kitchen stove, a master of the meal
Cooking for the ones you loved, showing how you feel
You found your peace out camping, beneath the open trees
Preserving all the goodness, and preserving memories
-
His legacy
He loved deeply, especially our family (son and daughter) and the our two grandchildren! Sometimes over protecting us!
In the song 3:19Our son and our daughter, the two grandchildren too
Carry all the deep and heavy love they got from you
Always watching over us, overprotecting too
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
IIIBob’s story
Bob and his wife were together for 70 years, married for sixty. She sums him up as “consistent, warm love.”
He loved deeply, especially their son and daughter and their two grandchildren. Sometimes he was over protecting.
“How I miss him!”
What she wrote about him
Bob was a great cook who loved preparing meals for those he loved. He loved the outdoors, gardening, harvesting and preserving what he cooked and grew, and camping most of all.
She loved just holding his hand, feeling him next to her, and his occasional smile. He “made me feel protected and safe.”
“I passed it on to Bob’s daughter and she loved it.”
Bob’s wife, in her video
Their song had always been Bobby Helms’ “Special Angel,” and he called her his special angel. Now, she says, “he has become that to me!”
Facing a future without him is, in her word, “devastating.” She wanted to thank him for giving her life meaning.
