Memories and Condolences

Jeanne,
I was very saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was always such a very nice man to me, and John when he met up with him. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I do not think Bob needs any prayers since he is with the Lord. Bob was a good man, reserved and intent in doing his job. He was a pleasure to take care of as a nurse; the kind of man every caretaker dreams of. I am honored to have known him. Jeanne, I hope you can find comfort in knowing he is finally at peace and breathing so very freely!
Jeanne please take care of your self. You will be in my prayers.

Due to another commitment I won't be able to attend the viewing but I did want to get in touch with you. My sympathy to your family.
