Kathy,
I'm so sorry about Bob's passing. I enjoyed our talks over the years when we all got together at FLT functions, as well as at the store. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You and I had some good times working in the ad department - yes, I'm still there - will retire someday!
Sincerely,
Steve

Kathy,

My sincerest condolences. As you know, Pete and I spent a lot of time with Bob over the years, and glad we were able to reconnect after you moved to Tennessee. I enjoyed the last two years coming down and spending time with the two of you and had planned on coming down again this year in April or May. We communicated at least several times a week, and it is difficult to fathom that we will not be doing that anymore.
