Wanda and Family: We are so sorry for your loss, Bob will truly be missed.
We have made the decision to stay put in Michigan, Sherry looked for flights, and even offered to drive us down, but with the weather the way it is we feel it best to stay home.
Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Love to all,

Wanda and Family: We are so sorry for your loss, Bob was a very special person and will be greatly missed.
Sherry has looked into flights for us, along with offering to drive us down. We made the decision to stay put due to the fact we could be getting an additional 4-6 inches of snow.
Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Love to all

Mr. Ringham was so kind to us at Central. He taught us to be courteous and respectful to others.

Wanda and family, we have checked flights and our son in law has offered to drive us but with weather conditions the way they are here I think it is best we "stay put" here in NW PA. Our hearts are with all of you at this time. We have so many good memories of Bob, singing Go Tell Aunt Rhoda and all those silly games we played and the fun we had together. He will never be forgotten. Our love to all of you. God bless you at this time of sadness.
