Good morning ladies, gents and anyone else not included in that greeting. Sometimes in life, we get carried away with, well life, tragedies get overshadowed with other life issues. I just want to continue to lift Bob, Robins family, friends up in prayer this morning. As I Work every single day as Dean of Students at McLain, there is not one single day goes by that I don't see, hear of, foresee tragic situations. Life is so short on the eternal perspective that we get numb to violence, death, and even life. I realize that at the spry age of 50 something, it is our time to experience death which is a part of life, just is. Whether untimely or in Gods progression, death is something that we have to process with a great deal of wisdom even though there may not be any understanding but please join me in, as a tribute to those we have lost, in supporting those loved ones still on this earth, living our lives with the strength, wisdom, humbleness that defines not only us, as survivors, but those we have lost. I reach out to all to simply send a text of support, love, compassion to Bob and all the others we know if. Yes, we miss Robin, but she is happier than Bobs ass used to be fat, that he is living, surviving life, exactly as she wanted.

Jeff, you are such a dear sweet man to reach out to Bob & Robin;s family like this.  You make me proud to call you a friend and be a Tulsa Memorial Charger Alum class of 80.  I wish you & Deb all the hapiness in the world.

Cheers.

We have the coolest (is that word still workable?) classmates who have 'grown up' to be the coolest adults who understand, really understand that this life is a gift...but it is not the ultimate destination.  And it is so great to have this deep rooted connection...Robin would want us all to have a glorious day!!!

We're still here Robin, missing you of course, but moving on as sure as a one legged duck swims in circles. Yeppers, I know you are so proud of your previously fat but not fat anymore, Bob McGee. He's rolling just as you want him to. I know you are in the pearly gates, somewhere on the front row, Bob and I will be there as well but I for sure, will be way back on the back row but in never the less. Peace out.

Hi Robin, we're all still remembering you, on this last day of May, 2016. Funny, Prince sang in 1982, 'party like its 1999', wowie we were like really?? 1999? Dang 99 was 17 years ago, are you kidding me? Robin, those are simply years on this earth, but you are living in the Eternity of Life, which only comes after death. I know you are so proud of my buddy, 'not so fat Bob Magee', he's kicking ass every day, cleaning your house like a mad man. That's what guys do when they are dealing with tragedy, it's taking on the roles, personalities, of those lost. He even has a squeegee in the shower, cooks like a maniac. We have buried so many classmates this past year, I feel so blessed to know they are all looking down, so proud of us, living life to its fullest but never complete. That will come when, in our death, we will have eternal life. Crazy huh? If we take a string and stretch it from one end of our house to the other, then pull a single hair, yep I still got some, sorry Hopper, and tie that hair in the middle of that long, stretched out string, that little, skinny, iota piece of hair, represents our entire life here on earth. It's completely I just a speck of human existence compared to life ever lasting with you in those beautiful Pearly Gates. I still love you Robin, even though you reminded me, ummm over and over, at our 35th, that you broke up with me in 6th grade. Bawhaha ha. Peace out.
