When I heard of AB passing I said a prayer mainly for you because he is happy and you will miss him like I miss Bob. Bob and him are watching and cheering all the baseball teams God has. Take care of yourself. Call me when you want to talk. He lived a good life and we all must go. I still miss my husband so I know you will miss AB. We have memories. Love you Sharon
