Dearest Pauletta, we continue to miss you and long to hear how you are. We are so hopeful you are healing from bodily damage as well as emotional loss.

Our Dearest Pauletta, Please forgive our lack of support in your loss. We just learned of Rob's passing today. I have been virtually housebound the past two years and Howard has been overwhelmed with the burden of taking care of me, the dogs, everything here, and his full time job. Please know we would have tried to be there for you had we known. Rob was such a special man, so gentle and caring. He was such good company, with his sharp mind and quick wit. He will be remembered and missed by many. Your load and losses have been so great these past years. I hope you are resting and recovering from the wear. We would love to hear from you when you feel lIke a visit. With love, Jan and Howard Byers

Pauletta, I was so very sorry to read of Rob's passing-- I don't believe that I knew he had been ill for so long. I have nothing but the fondest memories of you both and the days at Crouch and when I helped him with his speech contest there at Purdue for a few years . I, too, have gone through this loss and my advice to you is to stay busy. I would love to get together with you and any others of the old Crouch group for lunch or supper sometime!! Again, you have my deepest sympathy-- I plan to contribute in his honor to one of my favorite charities, " First Books for Kids". Love you, Carla

One of the two "pun-i-est" men I knew. Sweet memories of his stories while sitting at their dinner table. Blessings to you, dear Pauletta.
