Dear Bob and Joan,

Hold fast to your memories,
to all of the cherished moments
of the past, to the blessings and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrow and the tears.

They all add up to a treasure of fond yesterdays
that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved close to you in spirit and thought.

The special moments and memories in your life will never change.
They will always be in your heart, today and forevermore.

Rita was a very special person, who will be greatly missed.

With deepest sympathy
Barbara and don
