Nancy,My visit with you and Bob was the highlight of my trip back home this summer.Talking about death and dying could have been depressing, but, all we did was laugh. Bob sure loved his life and you were the main reason. He always seemed to make the best of a bad situation.You will all be in my prayers.I'll call you in a couple of weeks.Take care of yourself.
