My deepest sympathies to you, Judy. You both were special to our family, especially while the children were growing up. The birthday parties, the many, many Christmas parties at SHH. It was an honor to call Bob boss for nearly 20 years! It was very obvious you were the love of his life, he adored you and always spoke very fondly and respectfully of you. May God give your strength,support,and wrap you tightly in His arms in times of need.
