Hello Maureen, I was stunned to hear the news this morning from Tony. I am so very sorry for the loss of your best friend of so many years, not to mention the passing of your Daughter Kelly just a few months ago. I have no way to get in touch with you, so I hope you do see my deepest Condolences, to you and your son Robbie through this format. At this time, words mean very little, and I understand that. While I didn't know Bob very well, I've always considered you to be a close friend. May...
