Dear Audrey and all the family,
We were very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. He will be sorely missed, not only by you and we but also by the very many friends he had in our community. Recall that Bob and I graduated from the same high school on Long Island a year apart. We didn't know each other back then. Like you and Bob we moved to Somerset over 50 years ago, when we first met you folks. Our friendship has been casual, but it also has been caring. You and he have been very good neighbors all these years. Know that we will remember Bob in our prayers and that his soul will surely enjoy the comfort and love of our Lord as he rests in peace.
