Dear Peg,
I just learned of Bob's passing; you and your family are in my prayers.
No doubt Bob has been rewarded for his life of service to others.
If saints play golf, Bob is on the celestial links by now. (Likely he passed on joining the Angelic Voices of Heaven choir though.)
God's peace to you.

I am so sorry to hear about Bob being gone from our community. He was fun at our condo parties and always had something witty to say or add that made you think. He and Peg were the picture of a happy marriage. Can't imagine one without the other. God Bless Peg and family. Thanks for his service as a veteran as well.

Dear Peg and family
It has been some time since our paths have crossed. Please know I hold you and your family in prayer as you deal with the passing of Bob. It is our faith significantly at this time we are called to believe that Bob's "life is simply changed not ended." I hold you in prayer.
