Marcella,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss of Bob. You both loved each other so much! He was courageous and brave in his fight and you were by his side every step of the way. Although Bob is gone from this earth, he is nearby in heaven and will be watching over you until the day that you join him. Until that day, he will be in your heart forever. With heartfelt sympathy and love, Zella

Dear Marcella, We are so sorry for your loss. You gave Bob excellent care and managed to stay strong during this difficult transition. You were not only his wife, but his friend and care-giver. Bob was taken early from you, but his legacy will live on through his sons and beautiful granddaughter, Kali. He loved you, his children, granddaughter, family and friends so much. Our sincerest condolences are with you and the families. Love, Patty and Jeff Bowen

My deepest condolences to Bob's Family.
I feel bad this happens to him. I have worked with Bob for many years in the ninetees. He was my manager and later my colleague. I have good memories with Bob as well in Holland as in Harrisburg during working hours and other hours.
I hope the whole family will find a way to give Bob the right place in your heart. My personal regards
