Connie, I'm sorry to hear of Mr. B's passing. I constantly think of you and Mr. B and everything the two of you taught me while working at the Trojan Horse. I wish I would have seen this sooner so that I could have come to his visitation to pay my respects and to see you again.

When I worked at Bay View Vet, I always enjoyed when Bob would bring Bear in for a checkup. They had such a special bond that it warmed my heart. May your family find peace in knowing that Bob and Bear are now together again.
