Alette, I can't tell you how terribly sorry I am for your loss. It's hard to comfort someone when faced with something like this, but I hope you find some comfort in knowing that your friends, near and far, are praying for you and asking God to help you through this. Wish I could be there for you, but even though I'm not, you are in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you peace. Love, Kathy

Alette, we are so, so sorry to learn of Bob's death--words can't express our sorrow. Please know that he was loved and thought highly of. He was thoughtful, funny, expressive, hard-working, and he loved you beyond measure. May God keep His loving arms around you and give you peace. Ron & Geri
