Not sure what to say?

Dear Lois,

A dear friend of mine fowarder this notice to me about Bob. I last saw Bob nearly ten years ago when I finally moved back up north. Since then I have thought of you both often and the wonderful times we spent together at your home and at the lake house.

Lois,
Bob Yobaggy, What can one say? One of a kind! He will be missed greatly. Lisa and I enjoyed our time spent with you both, especially that Chistmas when we sang carols and he played his banjo at our house.

Mrs. Yo, Scott & Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Yo's passing. Since my dad shared the sad news, I've been reflecting on memories from our "wonder years" on Warwood.

Lois, we were shocked to see that Bob had died - what a guy he was! I have tried many times to get in touch with Lisa to no avail, but please know that she,Kevin and the kids, you and Scott are in my prayers. I have already missed his dry sense of humor....love, Lisa Farmer
