Cousin Honey:

So sorry to hear about Bob. He was such a great guy! Although it was long ago, I'll never forget your generous hospitality when Ginny & I visited Chicago. And, of course, the times you and Bob visited us in Jacksonville. He was a special guy who will be missed by all. May God bless you and the family.
