Barbara, it was always good seeing you and Bob in church and having a little hug and hello'. So happy you came to a few luncheons with our classmates last summer. Bob's life was so full with so many wonderful accomplishments doing important work with kids and K of C! No regrets. Still so hurtful to lose your partner, friend and love. Keep well, and the great memories!
Love, Marie Chaplinā¤
