Dear Aunt Mona, Susan,Deb, Bob, Lisa and all family members,
I was so saddened to hear of "Uncle" Bob's passing. I have to tell you of a touching incident at Rocky and Mike's 50th anniversary last year. Uncle Bob made a special point of speaking to me and giving me a heartfelt hug when learning about the passing of my own mother just months before. He truly made a connection with me and I will love him forever for that moment. Michael has many fond memories of Uncle Bob (and all his cousins) with his boundless energy and love for life and family. God bless you all in your time of sorrow and know that all those wonderful memories will keep him alive forever in your hearts. Sincerely, Lou and Michael Ayoub
