My deepest sympathy to you and your entire family on the death of your father. I have enjoyed working with both of you over the years, and I know he will be missed. I am presently in California until the end of the week and regretably will be unable to attend the funeral.

Dear Bob Jr. and Jean,

My deepest sympathy to you both on the loss of your dad. I noticed it on the websight this morning. Sounds like you worked with your dad which means more memories. I will keep you as well as your dad and family in our prayers.

If you don't remember who I am I met Jean at the national Hosta Convention a few years ago and Bob I met when he came into Clover Cleaners. We took off 12/27 for AZ and will come back the end of march. These are our golden years. Remember to enjoy each other as you never know when it ends.

Again, My deepest sympathy.

Sincerely,

Dorothy Boeser (W Bush Lk Rd.)
