Ruthie, Mary Ann and I just heard about Bob's death. We go way back with both of you to St. Peters and it was great to catch up on both your lives at the reunion. Both of you will be in our daily prayers

Dear Ruthanne,
I'm so very sorry about Bob's passing. Peace and love be with you through this difficult time. It's hard to let go of your dear husband of 51 years and have to say goodbye. God will take care of him. Watch out in heaven - Bob and Dick will be riding their motorcycles - only if God permits it. God bless all of you. Sincere sympathy, Phyllis
