We were so sorry to hear of Lila's passing. It's so difficult to find the words to express our sincere sympathy. We loved you and Lila and Bill and Hellen so very much. You were our "Texas Family." There is a void in our hearts that will never be filled. Our thoughts are now with you, Bob, as you embrace life without your precious Lila. No one could ask for a more devoted,loving husband as you. We hope you will find comfort in knowing that. I will call you in a few days. We are sending all of our love and prayers to you from Utah. Sue and Don
