Barbra I am so sorry to hear about Bob. I pray that God will give you comfort in this time of loss. Bob and all of you in that State Farm Office have became wonderful friends and have always been far more than someone handling our insurance. Bob was always ready to go the extra mile for his customers and treated you like family! May God bless you all in this time.
