Dear Trudi and family,
My thoughts are with you and your family. I remember visiting my Aunt Edie and Uncle Jerry in Portsmouth in my younger days and seeing my cousin Bob at their home. I wish you peace.
May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You,

Dear Trudi & Michele, Can't tell you how sad I was to hear about Bob. I wish I was living in New England so that I could be there for the funeral and tell you this myself. I always enjoyed my visits with you and will cherish those memories forever! I know that any words I have to say to you won't heal the sorrow you feel. I truly believe that he will always be with you, so talk to him because I know he is listening.
With my deepest sympathy

I knew Mr. Bascom when I worked in one of the buildings he managed in downtown Portsmouth. He always had a smile on his face and he was very friendly. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.
