As I brought my son to the store today to shop for Easter clothes, I thought of Bob. My mom has always told me that Bob would send her money to help out with the five of us, who always had new Easter coats, shoes, bonnets, etc. I don't know how my parents did it, but it was friends like Bob and Fran who helped make it all possible. We were very lucky to have grown up with such warm, loving friends and relatives.
