September 28, 2022
Rob and Doug met because of their love of tennis and became great friends over the years. Nancy and Jen met at church at first not realizing our husbands were friends. The four of us eventually became friends although we haven´t hung out for a while, first because of the pandemic and then Rob´s illness, but we will always remember our good times.
Rest In Peace, Rob, and may the angels fly with you.
