My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My children went to their day care and I even helped when my twins were born. My son Jonathan and daughter Brittany were ring bearer and flower girl in Sherry' s wedding. I am sorry we have lost contact. Bob was a great person and lived the children they watched.
