Mary,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We know how much you meant to each other and want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We wish we could have been there with you.

We'll always remember the first year we were in Florida when you and Bob surprised us with a visit.

Our deepest sympathy, my friend.

Bob was and will remain a stepping stone in my pattern of life. Sometimes we meet people that warm our hearts and make us laugh. His pain is over and he is looking down on all his loves now. May he rest in peace.

Bob promoted me to a manager many years ago at Natco. My late father and myself had the pleasure to work for him for 15 years. I miss him and his family very much and my thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
