Dear Sybil, Joan, Jane, Paul, John and your families,
We just returned from a trip to Maui and learned of Uncle Bob's passing. We are deeply sorry and saddened. We loved Bob, and enjoyed visiting with him each time we came out from California. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families at this time. God bless you all.
Love, Jeanne and David Atwater

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad (grandfather). He was such a nice man.

Please know you are all in my prayers.
