Renee; I just (Nov 5) got the news from Inga Shuker. I always hoped we'd meet again. Please take care of yourself and let us know if there is anything we could do.

Renee,
My heart hurt so bad when Marsia told me about Bob. He was such a fine, sweet and loving man. I'll never forget talking to him..be it at work or having a smoke on the corner. We often spoke about living now, not tomorrow. I truly believe you two did. Take care of you Renee. Bob will always be with you. He's now your angel and he'll always make sure nothing but good comes to you like he always did.
Love Ya Bunches Renee

Bob, we love you and will miss you.

Renee, our thoughts and prayers are with you right now. We are very sorry to hear about the loss. I hope you know how much you mean to us and our family. We take comfort in thinking that Bob knew how much he meant to us. We regret not being able to make it up there this weekend. In spirit, we are with you.
Sending our love,

Renee, I am so saddened to hear about Bob. I'll never forget all the good times we had. Whether it was when you and he took my brother and I to Frick Park when we were children, or when we all had a blast at my brother's wedding in Florida last year, you two were always there. Bob meant so much to my family and he will be missed.

Renee, we still can't comprehend what has happened. You and Bob have been a part of our lives for so long we can't imagine being without either one of you. Bob was always so kind and generous and if you were his friend, he would do anything for you. He loved his Steelers, chocolate ice cream, cherry pie, his cats, his friends and family, but most of all he loved his Renee. It's not fair that he can't be with you (or us) as we begin our "young" senior years, but Bob has left us with so many wonderful memories. We are so proud to have called him friend. May God bless Bob in heaven and you, Renee, as you carry on here. Please know that we love you so much and will do anything we can to help you through this difficult time.

Dear Renee, I am so sorry; this is very hard for you. Bob was a good person and neighbor and he loved you and the kitties so much. We all liked him and now our neighborhood will not be the same.
Please let me know if there is anything you need.

Love,
Tricia and Paula
