Dear Gloria:
Please accept my sympathy for your loss. I have often thought of the great times we had in the old days of our friendship and the visits to the Newport Officer's Club and the help and advice Bob gave me in business and finance. I just came back to RI for Thanksgiving and am sorry I didn't know of the service yesterday. I hope you are well.
