Carolyn Bakker wrote a sympathy message

“Sending Heart felt sympathy to Sandy and family in the loss of her beloved husband. What a blessing to have served with you both on Team Healthcare Jamaica Missions Trips. I truly enjoyed your company and laughter. It was always a true testimony of your love for the Lord and one another, to see you both working together to help patients care for their eyes. Bob will be missed! We take comfort in knowing he has heard, "Well done good and faithful servant!" Matthew 25:21”
