We are deeply saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Dear Lisa and family, please accept our heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Bob was not only a cherished member of our parish, SVdP, but also an exceptional godfather to our great granddaughter. His kindness and generosity touched the lives of many in our community. We will always remember his dedication and service in the military, as well as his commitment to helping others. He and Lisa worked with the most precious children of our parish. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with Lisa and their family. May you find comfort in the memories you shared and the legacy of love he leaves behind. Rest in peace dear brother in Christ, Bob Raines, until we meet again in eternity.
With the love of Jesus Christ.

Prayers for the repose of his soul and peace and comfort for the family and friends. I did not know him personally; however, I am an extended family. I pray that the family will have comfort on this new journey.

My dearest brother…… I will miss you beyond words. How will life be without you – I don’t know. You always said my husband was a good man – he is and know that he will take great care of me always. I know is that you were ready to be with Jesus and knew what was waiting for you. I know you are now giving glory and praise to Jesus, something you did on earth but now – you can reap the harvests of your deep faith. Love you, my best friend. I know I will see you again one day.
