I would like to extend my condolences to not only the members of the family that I know but to those of you whom I have never met.

I only knew Bob for a short time but for the time I knew him he was a great guy and I enjoyed the time with him.

I also lost a close member of my family this year, my father, and no matter what people said or did the pain of losing him was still there. No matter how much we prepare ourselves for this moment in our lives it is never enough nor is it ever easy. Time is the best healer. Keep your faith and do not hesitate to lean on those who offer thier support.
