Miss Barbara, Robbie, and Kitty,
I know it's been a long time since I've seen you all but I do think of all of you and Mr. Bob often. I'm so sorry about his passing. It is so true about Miss Barbara being the Love of His Life. Even as a teenager, I always hoped I could one day have a relationship that was as special as you two had. It was truly one of a kind.
