Dear Debi and Randy,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Your folks were wonderful friends to our family over so many years, and as we did with the passing of your Mom, we feel your loss now as well.

Dear Debi, Randy and family,
I was very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I immediately thought, great friends for years but now the good lord wanted him back. Your Dad and Mom sure did know how to host the annual "Bologna Roast" in Campo. Everyone had great fun and looked forward to the next year. I'm sure Bob is up there playing pinochle with Dick about now. His spirit will forever be watching over you.
My sympathies and love to your entire family.
