Dear Jo,
I have missed you and Bob. Have not seen you for a while. Miss my hug, and kiss, and your critique of my Italian Restaurant. I know, not as good as your cooking.
I am so sorry for Bob's passing. He was a true gentleman, and someone I always respected. He will be missed by all of us at Olde Hickory
I know recently times have been difficult for you and your family, but you were there for Bob every day until he passed. He is in a better place now, and knows how much he was loved.
I regret that I am going to Colorado this week to celebrate my Grand-Daughter's 5th Birthday. Hope you know, If not for that special occasion, I would be with you to celebrate Bob's life.
I lieu of my absence, my Mother, Cathy will be there to celebrate some of the great times you and Bob had with her and my Father (Larry). I heard you both were quite the "Party Girls" back in the day. Thinking of you with so much love.
Sincere Regards,
Craig Komatz
