Dear Deb, Jess, Jen, Rae'anne, Maxine and family,
We can't express how terribly sad we were when Jenn called to tell us of Bob's death. Despite his years of struggles with heart disease he was always upbeat and positive, qualities we believe kept him going, along with your loving support. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the difficult days ahead. We love you all, Denis & Paula
