Dear Sirois Cousins,
Craig and I send our deepest sympathy to all of you with the loss of
Uncle Bob. You all know I really cared and loved him, he and I were
buddies as he would say. I will miss him and so wish I could have gotten
back to RI to see him before he died. But as with mom I couldn't do that
at the time. I know you understand that we would be with all of you if
it was at all possible. Sending our love and prayers to all of you,
Love, Norma and Craig
