Dear Lori, Darren and Jessica, and Eric, and your amazing family, especially your mother, and friends, please accept my sincere sympathy and love on the loss of someone so dear. Although I didnt know Bobby well,hearing precious stories from big sister Paula and reading the beautiful words expressing the person they will always remember, I truly feel I too will think of you fondly as someone I wish I’d known better. What a lasting impact you had on so many people! And lets not forget the love of Maverick and Axel; dogs always know good people. Peace be with you and may memories sustain you. Sincerely, Linda Ferraraccio
