Dear Bobbie,
How can we find the right words? We can only bring back the great memories, from Sacandaga to putting down the floor in your first apartment, to the delicious Stebman Family Circle gatherings and to all the other good times we had together.
We cry with you and know that you can weather this storm in the same way you do with your strength and wonderful memories of John's life well lived. We love you and share in your sorrow.
