Dear Sue Ellen, Rob & Ellen, I am so very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. I have many fond life memories of him and you as well. So glad I ran into both of you this summer and had the chance to talk with you. I know you both held a special place in my Mom & Dad's hearts too. You have been there with all of us for our times of joy and sadness. Sorry I can't be there in person, as you both had been for all of the Lamb family. You are in my thoughts & prayers and may your memories of Bob help you through this hard time. Love to all, Janice

Mrs. Perry:
I have seen you and Mr. Perry at Church on my visits home from Florida at Thanksgiving. I am truly sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in our prayers during this hard time. I know you now have an Angel to look over you and your family. Thank you and Mr. Perry for all the great times that your family and my family celebrated over the past years. I remember the boats being stored at Grampy Lamb’s out by the grape vine. Fourth of July cook outs and Bluff Point weekend skiing trips I enjoyed all the times our families had an opportunity to share. Stay well and please stay in touch.
Love the Florida Lambs
