Bob, we're sorry to have missed the service today, but wanted you to know we have been thinking of you and holding you in our prayers. Sometimes death is a friend, and perhaps this was so for Helen. In any case, that final separation brings with it its own deep feelings. God's blessings and comfort!

I remember being a guest of college "Big Brother" Bill at the Hollenberg's the weekend of the 1980 USA Hockey Team's defeat of the USSR Hockey Team and how excited we all were watching the game. I drive by that house almost once a week, and remember being welcomed into their home. May similar memories comfort your family as you remember your loved one.
