Melody was a dear friend and former coworker. We enjoyed many years of fellowship together celebrating birthdays,going to the beach and attending concerts. I first meet Melody when she started working @ Norfolk General Hospital when she was 19. She loved her father, Bob. I still miss Melody.

We want you to know you are in our prayers. I have many wonderful memories of Bob while working with him at Chrysler. In recent years, it was always great to see him at the Retiree dinners and the fellowship we shared there. I will always remember his compassion for others. He was a special guy that will be dearly missed. May the Lord comfort his dear wife and family.

Ole’ Man Bob. Gonna miss my father-in-law very much. Both he and Gerri accepted me as a member of their family ever since I had married his daughter Melody Conn. Even after she passed away from cancer in 2008, they kept me as there son-in-law and thus have kept close since. Bob, Gerri and I would talk just about every Saturday morning. Every spring Bob and I would visit the grave site in Damascus, Virginia and talk about the good old days. I will miss Bob and our talks very very much. I know you are with your daughter right now and that was the one thing you would say every time we talked. That you enjoyed life here on earth but come the day you go home to heaven, you were most looking forward to seeing your daughter once again. 🙂
