Dearest Nancy ~

How sorry I was to learn of Bob's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now. He was a delight and I shall remember him fondly, seeing him at exhibits and enjoying his knowledge of Bethlehem. I wish I could have joined you and your friends at the service, but I've been out of town so much lately I'm just catching up.

Please join me for a nice cup of tea when you're ready, so we can share our fondest stories of Bob. In the meanwhile, please take care of yourself.

With sadness,

Joan Paul
