Lenna and Family,
We are so sorry that we were not able to be with you today. We are so saddened by Bob´s passing. My fondest, earliest memory of my cousin is dancing with him at a family gathering when I was a little girl. He was in his twenties and I was about 8 or ten. I always looked up to him both literally and figuratively! Please know that our thoughts are with you all.
