Bob’s wife Eucharist struggled to fight back tears as she read out a letter she had written to him.

“My baby love, my super man, love of my life — words aren’t even coming to me. The past few days have felt like a long bad dream that keeps playing itself over and over. I’ve lain awake every night this week, hoping that you’ll walk through the door,” she said.
