Shirley,
My heart is broken for you.
It was truly a pleasure to know and love Bob. He was such a soft spoken, gentle soul who always found a way to make me laugh! He had a contagious smile, and a heart of gold. Whenever I see jelly bellies, I think of you both and smile!
May God hold you in the palm of his hand, until we meet again my second favorite, Bob!
