Dear aunt Bea and cousin Mimi;
I am so sorry to hear about Robert. I never knew him because we live so far away, but I heard so many great stories about him and how nice he was. I would have liked to meet him and enjoy some stories about the "old days" when all of you were kids. I love you and send Aunt Bea my love too. Your Ga. cousin Kellie and little Katelyn Klein

Dear Mrs. Schoch, Mimi & Family,
Thinking of you all in this time of sorrow. Have fond memories of us back around '65 when a bunch of the guys had a "bungalow" softball league and would challenge the local bungalow colonies. Good times!!

Mrs. Bea Schoch and Mimi, You will remember Bob and I were really good friends in MYF. Rooming together at Epworth, playing basketball at your house, rollerskating, etc. I often asked about Bob and someone said he liked motorcycles and I do also. I will miss my old buddy and pray for his eternal life. He was a good guy in so many ways.
