Dear Dawn & family,

We are so grateful to have known Bob, through the Knights of Columbus and Holy Family parish. His faith and courage were an inspiration to us. He often told me how much you meant to him, too. We believe that he is fully in God's presence; living a new joy-filled life.

Love & prayers,

Dave, Cheryl & Emily Pipitone
