Dear Helen and Rob,

I am sorry to hear of Bob's death. I have so many memories of him from my younger years. He always seemed so much larger than life, so big and so strong. I like to think of him now in a place where he is with Shari and they are happy and whole together.

My love and condolences to both of you.

Helen, I just found out yesterday about Bob. I am so sorry and you are in my thoughts and my prayers. I will miss seeing you both go down the hallway.
I think you are an angel to provide all the loving care that you provided. What a blessing you were to Bob and all of us at the VA who got to meet you. I hope you will still come by sometime to see us.
Give Rob my sympathies.
Let me know if you need anything.
Love, Mary Ann (Occupational therapy)
