Dear Jean and family:
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Bob. We have fond memories of him going back to 1994 when you visited Winona before the wedding of Darryl and Ellen. Since then we have been together on occasion with you, Bob, Anne, Sarah and Margaret. We were appreciative of your being present at other times when we [in Winona] were unable to attend various happy events. We shall miss Bob.

Blessings, Lori, Melissa, Erin, Anita, Candy, and Jamie :)
