Will and extended family,
My husband and I send our deepest sympathy to you and pray God will give you peace within, during this difficult time.
I met your father at the Bobb reunion in 2007 and was so pleased that he was also able to visit us for lunch the following Monday. We both enjoyed him so very much, and will always have pleasant memories of that day. It was also wonderful to talk to him on the phone several times since then.
We were also pleased to have met you last year, Will.
God bless you and yours,
