Dear Bobby,
Rest in peace my cherished, erstwhile friend. In the intervening decades we had unfortunately lost contact. However, I cherish our numerous times together, scintillating conversations and wonderful experiences.
Helena, you may not remember me, but you and Bobby epitomized empathy, civility and goodness. May you receive solace and strength in this most sad time.
