Dear Friend Claire,
What a shock to hear of Bob's passing. We were in Idaho visiting Char so were unable to pay our respects in person. You and Bob have been excellent role models for families raising children and his legacy is not a minor one. Our love to you , Karl and Grant and may your strength and faith continue to keep you all blessed. With sincere love, Chuck and Jennie DeBree

Dear Claire,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Although I never met Bob, I have a vivid picture of how wonderful a husband and father he was through our close friendship teaching together in Brighton. Claire, your strength is an inspiration to all and especially to Karl and Grant now. Kent and I send our deepest sympathy.
