Dear Donna,
I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was an incredible man and I was so honored to know him. I always told him that I never considered him a client but much more importantly, a friend. He was and always will be an inspiration me. He was a man that everyone should look to emulate. I will truly miss him.
Blessings and prayers
