Dear Joanne,
My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
Bobby was a wonderful family man, and
I know you and your family will miss
him very much.
If I can do anything for you please let

I know first hand how hard life can be

through each day, little by little.
Time does heal wounds, but the sore
still remains.
