To my brother Bob

You will be missed greatly. You were one of kind. I was lucky to be part of your life for the last two years. You were so strong through it all. There were days I could not believe how you managed. You did get me to travel the state for your Dr appointments. You knew I was not the best driver. We laughed how I forgot directions. It was well worth it. I would do it all over again if I could have you back.

Your in my heart forever.

You have given me your wonderful family and Grandchildren. I hope to continue to keep in touch with. I need them for my support.

Love you always

Your sister Lucille
