What a privilege it was to have been able to meet Bob and Loretta and the whole family. I believe it was a gift from God to have been able to be with Bob during his last days. Bob and his family have been an inspiration to me. I will always remember all of you.

Many, many prayers for all of you during this time. Christ and His Mother will comfort you in ways you could never imagine.
Peace to you all!!
