Dear Helen,
At my stepmother's funeral Sunday (Louise Seay) we heard a recording of Bobby singing. His tenor voice was wonderful to hear. Although our condolences to you and family are late, they are sincere. Two of my sons were at Louise's funeral (Jeff & Michael Francis), also my sister, Jane, and brother, Hillis. They, too, enjoyed hearing Bobby sing and are thankful he shared that voice with his church and with us yesterday.

To Steve and the entire Dove family,

Jimmie and Helen, I was shocked to see Bobby's picture in the paper. It seems only a few years ago that Helen and I were both expecting babies at the same time, while working at McPhail, Bray & Co. Helen felt wonderful and I felt awful. She tried to cheer me up each day, usually with a song. She was expecting Bobby and I was expecting Annette. We had some wonderful times raising our children, going to church and working together for several years.
My prayers are with you at this time. I can't really imagine just how you feel right now, but our Heavenly Father knows and will provide you with the comfort you need now and in future days. I love you very much.
When trying to describe what it was like to hear Bobby sing, I would tell people that the experience was like what heaven was gonna be like. Truly one of my highest honors as a musician was to accompany him during solos for the North Meck Chorus. A man with a sweet humble spirit...a friend to all. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. Thank the Lord for recordings...we can still hear him singing here and look forward to joining him in Heaven's chorus.
Bobby's has always been and will continue to be one of the most special guys that I have had the priviledge of knowing. He was kind and a genuinely good person. I think of Bobby, Janet, and their family everyday when I leave my neighborhood across the street from their house. To Janet and children, Steve, Tim, and Mr. and Mrs. Dove...our prayers are with you. Much love to you all-
My cousin....my friend.... Praise God you suffer no more. The childhood memories I have will be cherished memories....We miss you Bobby, and we love you....forever.

To the entire Dove family,
Bobby will be missed greatly. His voice, which we enjoyed for a while, is singing in God's choir with the angels. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I am so sorry for your loss. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3,4... states: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes , and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". Very soon, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death.
