In Memory of Bob Kos

We are so sorry that we did not make it to Bob's memorial.

We along with everyone here at Southwynd will always remember him for his strength. He never complained about the pain he suffered. Bob was always so polite and grateful for anything that we did for him.

Our condolences to Kala, Steffi & family as well as all the caregivers who became members of your family.

Hi Kala,

I wish I had met Bob. He sounds like a wonderful person.

It is so hard to lose a brother. I'm glad you had the chance to be so close to him. Your memories and spiritual connection will soften the heartache.

Through losing two brothers and my son I have learned that, as you have said in your eulogy, we don't really lose them. In fact, I feel even closer to them now, especially my son Ryan, in spirit. He often whispers in my ear and hugs my neck, and I see him dancing in his excitement when something in my life calls for a celebration. He comforts me, roots for me, loves me. We will always be together as you, Steffi, and Bob will be.

Thank you for sharing his passing with me. I'm praying for you and Steffi. God Bless you both,

Kerry Jackson

Hi Kala,

Lovely tribute and although it's a very tender time for you and your Mom we all know Bob's in a much better place, and at peace. And, he's now really an angel up there for you to get on with your purpose. I get the feeling that he's going to give you clarification on your next steps, just ask and you'll get the ahh-haa's.

Love and blessings always

Hi Kala,

Am not good in condolences since for me there is no difference between living and dying..

Your brother is always here and has always been here–

Wishing you and your family love, light and happy memories,

Marco

Kala, my love and blessings to you as your heart aches for the loss of being able to reach out and touch your dear brother, and to look into his eyes.

Love and blessings for the celebration that the gift of his life brought to you, and in the knowing that he is now living his desires. Imagine the intensity of desire that the physical pain brought to him; the desire for wellness and for the joy of freedom that a life free of pain brings. Now he lives that life, and dances with joyful ecstacy as his nonphysical self has now become that desire, and his love will continue to shower over you, and his light will continue to guide you on your path until you reunite again some day and dance joyfully together.

Until then the gift of his life to you will continue to warm your heart.

Many hugs and much love - Taylore

I would like to tell you I feel very sorry for you. I know what does it mean to lose somebody....I know the emptiness that stays when somebody is gone. And I know that nothing in this world can fill up this space. We are all such a unique..........that's way it is impossible to replace somebody with someone else. Only LOVE is above......is immortal. And if you truly love you can find the peace in you. And you will always know that this life is not the end and we are all united........in LOVE.

I feel somehow connected with BOB........I was born on 24th May too....

Dear Kala:

Shakespeare said: "The breaking of so great a vessel should have made a greater crack."

Thank you for sharing your words and your photos and your love for the ONE, Robert Kos, your brother.

Funerals are really for the rest of us anyway. Look how many they bring together under the guise of separation.

You and your family have my love and condolences. Your work has touched my life Kala. I am glad to know about a brother who has touched yours.

Love,

Your brother was indeed a great man, for he fought battles that we cannot understand. May his light shine eternally.

Love and best wishes,

Bob,

You're with God now, be at peace & look over your family.

Bless you.

Dear Kala,

Although I did not know Bob personally, I did witness your gentle care of him. We honour your acts of loving kindness. You returned from Hawaii to take care of him. You were willing to be available when needed even though you were on retreat and seeking personal quiet and solitude. You often said it was because you loved him.

Love is patient, love is kind, it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

As I read your eulogy and the memories of others, I learned how loveable Bobby was and also how loving. Love seems to have wrapped around the three of you, flowing gently, binding you together for that last night.

Thank you for sharing the tender details.

Sincerely,

Wendy Hardy from Rivendell

Steffi and Kala -

Dearest Kala,

I read your note regarding the passing of your brother with such appreciation for your love and devotion to your family. I want to thank you for sending this unknown prayer - it brought tears to my eyes, when I read it. I wish you all the best in this occasion of letting go and also in holding a space in your heart for the memories and love for your brother to live on in your heart and in the eternal realms of spirit.

With Much Love,
Mare Simone

Both you and your brother are wonderful inspirations to all who know you. Your brother for showing us that the spirit shines on even through the greatest suffering and can't be broken, and you for showing us that any limitation can be overcome. Thank you so much for sharing with us and I'm grateful for knowing you.

Love and Light

Dear Bob, I see pictures of your beautiful smile and am inspired all over again!!! The memories of time spent with you and your mother will remain treasures stored up in my heart - always. I trust God has much reward in store for you - He is all about Love, and you got that!! Thank-you for being my friend.

Dear Kala and Steffi, I pray God sends you comfort, and I know Bob is keeping an eye on you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take good care of yourselves! Wishing you peace

Another angel in heaven...

When the spirit is set free - when there's no limitation of the physical plane, I feel that our loved ones are with us all of the time, especially before they set sail on their new journey - the 'transitional period'. Not just as a thought in the mind; a memory - but as an actual, almost palpable presence.

We're never far from our loved ones.

God speed your well being adjusting to this transition in your lives ~
