Each one of you - Phyllis, Jeff, Sue, Ken, Marianne, Mark and Jan, I am so sorry I did not know of Bob's passing until today. Please know that all of you are in my prayers. I hardly ever see any of you any more, but you're always in my thoughts. I often think of the times we have shared through the years and they make me smile. God bless each of you.

My mother will be happy to see her old childhood buddy, Bobby. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

Jeff, Sue, and the entire family: I am very sorry to hear of your Father's passing. Your faith will bring you through this terrible moment in time. This is something we all must endure sooner or later but when it is unexpected, I know it is worse. I will be praying for you all. I miss you and think of you often.
With love,
