Happy Birthday in Heaven Dad.

Miss you, Love you
Your Son

It’s been a full year since you passed, and I am missing you even more than normal. I love you daddy. 

Happy Thanksgiving, Daddy..
I am missing you a lot today. This holiday is different, because I didn’t get my phone call from you. I miss you voice, I miss your hugs. I miss how loved you always made me feel. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday in heaven with your parents, grandparents, and other loved ones. Send them my love. I wish you were still here to see baby Ozzy have his first taste of mashed potatoes.. Daddy, you would’ve loved him so much. I hope you are getting to see him grow. Cas, Evie and River are getting so big. River always says Papa when she sees your pics in my phone. I will always tell them about you. You will live on through them, along with your other grandchildren, great grandchildren, and your children. 
I love you so very much. 

Happy Thanksgiving Dad.  It's the 1st holiday with you gone.  I so miss you and I want to call you every day, but I send messages on the wings of Angels to you.  You are in my mind and heart. 
I Love you,
Your son

Hey daddy,
This is the first Father’s Day since you went to be with the Lord, and it’s a very hard day.  I went and picked Donna up so we could visit your grave, and it was the first time going into your house since you left. I never realized before how much your presence used to fill that house until today. It feels empty without you there. 
But we visited your grave, said a few words and I hope you got to hear them. You are loved and missed every single day. I hope you are having the greatest day in heaven. Please tell Grandpa , Papa, and grandpa Beverly  happy Father’s Day for me, and hug my beautiful grandma, Nanny, Grandma Susie and Grandma Jo. 
All of the grown ups from my childhood that loved me are gone, and I miss you so much. You will always be a part of my heart, and my kids and grandkids will know  all about  you.  

Hi Dad, it's been 2 months since you departed.  I miss you. I miss being able to call you after work and on my ride home. We shared and laughed together.   There is no words to say that I miss you so much. I hope you hear me talking to you all the time.  I still have your voice in my mind crystal clear.   Missing you....

It’s been three weeks since you left us, and I still don’t know how to fully accept it. I keep expecting you to call and ask how my girls and my grandkids are. I’m so sad knowing that you’ll never know your great granddaughter River. She’s the sweetest little girl. My very last baby is having her first kid in less than a month, and baby Osiris will never know his Papa either .
I know I didn’t keep in touch as much as I would’ve liked to. Being an adult is hard , with so much responsibility. Just know that you will always be a part of me, and will live in my heart always. I will tell my grandkids all about their Papa. You will live on through your kids, grandkids, and great grandchildren. 
I love you Daddy, and I’d give anything for one more hug. I took a pic of the babies yesterday. Wanted to leave this here. 

RIP Bobby. We went to school together. Seen him about 4 yrs ago at appt he had. Well I can say Bobby had not changed since we were in school. Fly high Bobby  Thoughts and prayers to Bobby's family

SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE PASSING OF BOBBY. I GREW UP WITH BOBBY ON CABELL STREET MANY YEARS AGO. WE HAD SOME GREAT TIMES AND SHARED MANY MEMORIES. FLY HIGH MY FRIEND UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.GOD HAS JUST RECIEVED A SPECIAL ANGEL.

I was raised with bobby on cabell street he was a really good friend of mine we hung out alot in our younger years ive always respected bobby rip bobby 

I was very young when I was around Bobby.  I remember him smiling and laughing.  I remember his sense of humor and I remember him hugging my cousins. I also know he was a hunting buddy for my Pa Pa...and that has special meaning for me.

I'm sorry to all his friends and family for their loss, but especially my cousins.  I'm thinking about all 3 of you.  I'm heartbroken for you for the loss of your Daddy.

I’m so sorry to hear of Bobby’s passing.  Losing a loved one is never easy.  I knew Bobby as a young girl when he was my brother in law.  He was the father to my nephew (Dusty) and nieces (Jaime & Robyn).   Although I haven’t seen him for many years, I remember his laugh and how he liked to joke around.  I want to send prayers to his wife, children, grand children and entire family.    Heaven has gained an Angel.    Please smile at the precious memories.   I’ve always heard that the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart.    Bobby will be missed, but never forgotten.  

Rest In Peace , May God comfort and keep your family always. Your friendship was a blessing, thank you for many happy memories.

I remember back in the seventies Bobby, my brother James and myself we was hunting up off Buffalo. The morning had slipped on by and we would usually go back to the truck to get a little food. James and I had hunted hard but didn't have any luck that morning . Bobby came back with a exciting story. He was laughing I said did u see anything.  I remember his eyes lit up as he began to tell us about the big deer that got away I couldn't believe the beginners luck he had just had. We always loved him hunting with us he was always smiling and happy to just be their with us .The years rolled by and I stopped deer hunting and began to find my calling just to hunt Bear . I always enjoyed him and will miss him he was a true sportsman and could always make me smile. He would remember the little things that made our times together special. 

My deepest sympathies go out to the family of Robert Bryant - though I only met you a handful of times and our interactions may have been brief, we shared a love for many of the same people. From your daughters to your grandchildren to my children themselves. They are all in my thoughts and prayers today. May you rest peacefully. 

In remembrance of Bobby, first I would like to express  my most heartfelt sympathy  for his entire family, my nephew Dusty, my neices Jaime and Robyn, his wife Donna who I have never met, his brother Tommy who I remember well during the years my sister Mary was married to Bobby and for  the grand & great grandchildren.  
As a teenager and in my early 20's I often came back to Lynchburg to stay with Bobby and Mary.  Bobby was always kind and welcoming to me, my friends and later my 1st husband when we visited.  I am so happy that he lived his life loving his family and finding love with his wife Donna!  Although I hadnt seen him in many many years I understand he was ready to meet his maker and that alone should give us all peace.  To the family...I am so very sorry for your loss!

Condolences to the Bryant family.Bobby was a great friend and his laugh would always cheer you up.He will surely be missed.We all grew up together and those times will be remembered. So in closing may his love of God,family and friends live on to all those he touched.Rest in peace brother.

Bobby I knew you as a kid we grew up on cabell street across the street from each other we became best friends as we got older got married moved on in life I will see you again my friend I will see you again 

Bobby;First grandson of our family- my first nephew—always special to us. I remember when I was just a child and took Bobby to the movie with me on saturdays,  (mostly cowboy movie). He would fall asleep and I would have to literally carry him home,  I would “babysit “ him  a lot.   He  had health problems for awhile.  As of yesterday. HE is. “Pain-free”.   Meeting with his mom & daddy.  Grandmother & granddad & others that have gone before. Sending much love. 

I WAS MARRIED TO BOBBY 16 YRS. AND WE SHARED 3 CHILDREN TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH WE DIVORCED. WE STILL SHARED MEMORIES OVER THOSE 16 YRS. I REMEMBER THAT BOBBY INTRODUCED ME TO THE OCEAN IN MY 30s.  WE USE TO LIKE TO DANCE TOGETHER AND SHARED THE SAME LIKES IN MUSIC. I WENT HUNTING A FEW TIMES WITH HIM AND HE WOULD SIT ME DOWN UNDER A TREE WHILE HE STROLLED  THROUGH THE WOODS ON THE "HUNT".  ONCE A BEAR WAS COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN BEHIND ME AND BOBBY YELLED FOR ME TO "RUN".  I MANAGED TO GET AWAY BUT BOBBY AND I BOTH LAUGHED ALL THE WAY HOME ABOUT IT.  WHEN WE WOULD TRAVEL HE ALWAYS GOT US "Lost" BUT HE NEVER ADMITTED BEING LOST.  HE ALMOST FAINTED IN THE DELIVERY ROOM WHEN OUR DAUGHTER "ROBYN" WAS BORN. I REMEMBER THE DR. AND NURSES ALL GOT A CHARGE OUT OF  HIS WEAK TUMMY. ALTHOUGH WE HAD BEEN DIVORCED MANY YEARS..HIS PASSING HAS BROKE MY HEART. HE LOVED HIS KIDS AND FAMILY BUT THE LORD WAS HIS ROCK.  TODAY, MY PEACE COMES FROM KNOWING HE IS IN HEAVEN WITH HIS FAMILY AND HIS LORD.  REST IN PEACE BOBBY. YOU WAS AND ARE FOREVER LOVED.



My Dad, my Hunting and outdoor partner of the past.  I learned all my hunting and stalking skills, and love for the outdoors from you....as well as taking peaceful naps in the woods while hunting...lol.  Dad was stubborn at times but it's ok to be that way sometimes.  He was to the point and I acquired that trait.  I'll miss you dad, and the long phone conversations as I drove from work about love, kids, family, hunting, and food.  Now I will look upward and send you verbal messages on the wings of Angels. Feel free to reply In anyway..... I'll be aware for the little things....as I told you I would be.  Dont worry....me and the kids will always have you in our hearts and minds.
I Love you Dad, tell the rest of the family in Heaven..we miss and live them.
Your only son,
Robert "Dusty" Bryant

So many memories in my 45 years of life . 
A lot  of my most cherished memories from my childhood include my daddy. Saturday mornings watching wrestling sitting on the sofa with him. Summer days at the American Legion lake swimming.
I was the daddy’s girl of the three of us kids. My dad was one of the only people that made me feel loved for many years. Although we butted heads a lot in my adult years, he always loved me and just wanted me happy and safe. I am blessed to say that I had the best dad any girl could ask for. I miss and love him so much. I always will. 
Thank you dad, for helping to shape me into the person I am. I owe everything to you. 

My Dad was an amazing man. God, his family and friends were most important to him. Growing up, he always made sure that his children knew how much he loved us. He could be stubborn and difficult at times, but it was all because he loved so hard and unconditionally. He wanted to steer us down the right path and show us that above everything, God and family come first. In his last days he said to me " Babygirl, you stay following God and never turn your back on him...keep Ashyr by your side always...and know that your Daddy has always and will always love you and be with you". I am truly grateful for those last moments. I got to witness firsthand just how at peace he was.
