Dear Naomi and Family:
I was deeply saddened by the passing of my good friend Bob. As you know we had many years of friendship and always enjoyed our companionship. Unfortunately, because of my health I will not be able to attend his service. He will always be in my thoughts as long as I live. I hope to meet him again in the world to come.
I offer my regrets and know your faith will help you through this time of grief.
With Love & Compassion;
Chuck and Joyce Freeman
