jerseydad

I woke up this morning with a bad feeling about Bob's wife and went to our private message room to find out the sad, sad news.  Bob had shared with TPM and me her illness a couple of years ago…and we had talked often about the painful journey and his love for his wife and kids...and while the whole thing has been truly heartbreaking, I can tell you that we should all wish that we had a marriage like Bob's and Cindy's and we should all wish we had a spouse and father like Bob.

 

Bob is one of the genuinely good people on planet Earth and I am immensely privileged to know him on a personal level.

 

I love Bob Miller…even though I've never met him him in person (I aim to correct that sometime soon)…and by extension his whole family including his wife Cindy.

 

Today/tonight I will continue to pray for Bob and his family.  In whatever way is comfortable for you, I hope you will too.

 

Hug your spouse and kids tonight.  God bless the Miller family.

I am sorry to hear this, and I hope her thoughts and memories will comfort you in this time of mourning. 

 

My my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last year, and thankfully, her yearly mammogram came back Friday with a clean slate.

 

Cancer is terrible and my thoughts are with you...

My thoughts and prayers are with this family.  TPM, thanks for posting and for the message.

Great post.  You said all the right words.  Thanks for sharing this very sad but touching story.  Sincere condolences to the family.

I am glad to hear your wife is ok.

One in three women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

So sorry for your loss jerseydad! My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family!

 

 

Lifting Bob and his family in prayer...

I am so sorry to hear about what your family is going through Jerseydad!  Your family will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about this loss. My prayers and condolences to Bob and his family. 

I am so sorry to hear this news. Bob and his family are in my prayers.

I am so sorry to learn this. Bob is an institution on this board. He has helped so many people, and has always carried himself with class and good cheer. I just wish there is something we could do, as a community, to reach out to him and his lovely family at this devastating time.

 

 

I, too, want to add not only my deepest sympathy; but, also my thanks to Bob for being such a good friend to all of us in this community.

 

TPM, thanks so much for letting us know in such a heartfelt, beautiful post.

Bob, I am so very sorry. Your presence here has always been so encouraging, so heartwarming, to me and so many of our members. I did not know Cindy, but from following you and your posts about your beautiful family, I know she must have been a wonderful, kind, very special person.  Praying for comfort for you and your family.

.Jerseydad...I am very, very sorry to hear of you and your family's tragic loss. May the Lord bless you in other ways for years to come. Cindy can now rest in peace

So sorry for his loss.

That disease has touched so many lives. 

 

Bob so sorry for your loss, you entire family will be in our prayers.

What an incredible place this is...

 

After the most difficult day of my life I found myself almost unconsciously doing what I do every day…logging onto the HSBBW.  I guess I was hoping to find something to lift my spirits or at least take my mind off things.  To be honest when I saw the topic “jerseydad” at the top of the board, a deep sense of dread fell over me.  For those that know me I typically shy away from sharing much about our life outside of baseball however after reading Barb (TPM) and Tom’s (JBB) tribute to my wife of almost 30 years I found my dread melt away and I started to take great comfort in their words.  Yes, I consider both of them to be two of my very best friends and that probably wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for the HSBBW.

 

I am also grateful to the rest of our HSBBW family, your kind words and prayers over the last two days have meant the world to me. I showed this thread to my children and we all had a good cry together.  Truth be told my kids always made fun of me for my love of this website but I think for the first time they got why this place is so special to me.  We are a community with a love for baseball however just as importantly, for some of us we have created bonds that can lift us up even in our darkest hour…for that I am forever grateful.

 

While I would typically never ask for anything…tonight if you are so inclined to honor the memory of my wife and her love of baseball…perhaps you might make a small donation to the HSBBW.  This place has given me so much and I would love to think that in some small way your good will towards my wife and family might somehow help support this place that I love so much.

 

Sorry for the long post…I will finish by simply saying thank you and please keep my family in your prayers.  

 

Bob

Bob,

You have my deepest sympathies and condolences for your families tragic loss.  Your family is in my prayers.

I haven't been around in a very long time, but had to come "home" and share my condolences, thoughts, and prayers for Bob and family.  While I've always felt a Kentucky and baseball connection to the family, it was beyond that as they're good people.  The sadness for a family like this just seems very wrong and so extremely sad.  To the Jerseydad family, my thoughts and prayers from the Bluegrass.  God bless all of you!

Prayers from Virginia and may the good Lord bless your family and you.

 

jerseydad - my condolences and prayers for you and your family.

Bob,

I'm so sorry to hear about this. You have always been one of my favorite baseball player fathers.

You and your family will be in our prayers. 

our thoughts and prayers go out to you annnd your family.
