Just that I hope we will meet again one day in a place unknown to me now.

Dear Bob,
I am feeling so depressed writing this note knowing you can't answer it this time. We have known each other for 33 years, and I always thought at least another 20 would be added to that count. We have enjoyed your company so much, especially these past few years since you had retired, and you had more time to give to your guests and relatives. And now we are just so sad that you had to leave us so soon. Of course, you will continue to live in our memories and in our hearts until one day we meet again in some other world. Thank you so much for your warm friendship.
