Marilyn, Diane, Debbie and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you, I am sorry I am so far away. I would love to be there to celebrate the life of such an honorable gentleman.
Every time I think of Dr. Bob and Dr. David telling the real doctor that my mother had chicken pox when they put the rubber chicken in the hospital bed with her, I have to smile.
Uncle Bob,
THANKS FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES. YOU WILL BE MISSED.
I love you,
Karen
