Linda:
I just learned today from Sue Clark that Bob had passed away. I don't know how I missed it as I take the Courier on-line and check the obits every day. I am so sorry for your loss!
You cared for Bob in your home for such a long time and I know it has been extremely difficult for you! You did a great job! He is now at peace and hopefully, you can be also!
My sincerest condolences to you and your family!
Karen
