Dear Bob, it's been almost a year. The kids all miss you so much. I'm putting together this guest book so that they will have it. They're ok. They're amazing people -- all four of them. But they won't ever stop missing or loving you.

Robert and I were good friends in high school at Fort Worth Christian where his mother taught. He was an amazing chess player. We lost touch more than 35 years ago and I decided today to try to get back in communication. Sorry I am too late. God bless his family.
