Dear Gloria,

It has been decades since we have seen each other. This morning while working, your name popped in my head. I don't know why. I googled your name and Bob's news came up.

I am so sorry for your loss. My mind is going back to the days at Walsh College and the dinners we shared at your house and ours. I cannot stop smiling because those memories are so special.

Our prayers are with you and your family. May Bob's soul Rest in Peace.

I hope you are doing well. I would like to see you. I am in Facebook and LinkedIn.

Take good care...

Saif and Frieda Imam
