I stumbled upon this very touching poem that Bob wrote about Rick last year. I don't think he would mind my sharing it.
*********************************************************

As I think of you, being far away far, I dont know how or where you are.

I pray for your safety and wish upon stars, because your not here, your far away far.

A wonderful child, a delightful young boy, through all of these years you've brought me such joy.

A man now you are and you've opened some doors, you stood up to answer and defend in our wars.

there not because money, power or greed, it's the evil thats wakened and doing it's deed.

Until you return, I will look for a star, A hope and a prayer.

Because your far away far
*****************************************

Thank you, Bob.

Hugs!
Ann

My thoughts and prayers are with Bob and his family. His son Rick Dewater made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. May God Bless him and his family and give them the strength and faith to make it through this very difficult time.

Ann so sorry for you pain & loss.   You have touched many lives with your kindness.

I wanted you to know that your caring cause has touched me personally.     I have adopted a young man in Iraq and his fellow soldiers.    Co workers son.

Thank you for reminding us of our obligations to care and support these brave men and women.       In honor of this young man, I ask that you please consider and pass a kindness to a soldier.
