Coquetta, How fast a year goes by, and yet I can still remember meeting Bob on the 1st day of kindergarten, our days in the Cub Scouts, and most of all our high school yr's where you and Bob met in choir. We were a family of sorts. My thoghts and prayers are with you and your family

I want to sent my condolences to Coquetta and Lori.. I always loved the jokes Bob would share in the Salon with us. And he was such a delight to always talk to over these years. Coquetta I am so sorry.. I still remember all our conversations about you and Bob. High School sweethearts he became a medic in the Military and your wonderful stories about that. And the hardships you both went through. Then you told me that you then put each other through College at SD State and became outstanding teachers.. You always made me feel so good about Marriage and commitment .. My Heart is Heavy for you and Lori. I know the Love you Both shared for such a Loving Husband and Father. He is at Peace now.. And in Gods Hands. Blessing and Love to you and Lori. Natalie Perdue ????

You have given me many wonderful memories. I always looked forward to your appointments as we shared stories, our events, jokes and many laughs. I have been blessed to have your friendship for 40 years. Laurie was about 12 yrs. old when we all met. I will say a prayer for your strength and wisdom through these trying times. Love and blessings Coquetta to you and your family Laurie, J.R. and Brad.
