I am so sad for Bob's family for their loss. It has been such a pleasure to know them all over 30 or so years. I always enjoyed helping Bob and Margie with their garden designs in Madera and Fresno. We had such a good time solving problems and helping Bob with his extraordinary creativity on all the projects. I am keeping Marjie, Brenna and Tristan in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers, with much love.
