Bob- what a lovely tribute written to your lovely wife. I´m so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed seeing you two at the restaurant and talking with you. Sending my sympathy- Kennedy( server at Higgins).

Dr. Franklin - I am so sorry to learn this. To lose your soul mate is heartbreaking. May her memory be a blessing.
