For Helen,
On May 16, 2020 it will have been 17 years since Bob's passing. You were strong then and are strong now. You're in my thoughts.
Love, Joanne

May 16, 2008 marked the 5th year anniversary of your passing. Here is a poem I'd like to share.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a diamond glint on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the soft starshine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.
Your smile and laughter are always with us

It seems impossible that a year has passed since Bob's death yet today indeed marks this anniversary and honoring that is important for me.
Memories of Bob will not fade. Our warmest thoughts and support are with his wife, Helen, every day and especially today.
Love, Joanne and Jim

Bob,
My fondest memory will always be the day you and Helen married. You were both so happy.
On that day I also recall your discovery that you had gone to college with the brother of my date. The irony I thought.
Thank you for being part of our family. Your gregarious spirit will continue always.
Love, Joanne

Dear Jag,
Thank you for the opportunities to work with you over the years, first as East Bay regional manager and, most recently, as editor of projo.com.
Your dedication to reporting on the people and places of Rhode Island will not be forgotten.
