Dear Wanda and Family, We"ll always have the beautiful memories of Bob and you from sliding down your back yard on the sled that was too tiny for our grown-ups that didn't act like grown-ups on Saint Ann Dr. in snowy Erie and the Haskie Boots too!,and we still have the two chairs from Hawaii. The wonderful cruises with the gang and the two Bob and Bababaaaa,(our visit to Rochester with the sheep farm down the hill)and the trip to your beautiful home( La Conner) with the vast amounts of Tulips. We love you and will always hold those fond stories and fun times of Bob close to our hearts, he will live on...
Your friends forever, Bob&Patti Myers
