Paul Koeshall says
Dear Julie I am so sorry for your loss of beloved “Bobbie” as he was known to us many moons ago. I pray that God’s strength will help you through this most difficult and painful of times. I happen to be a hospice chaplain out here and am reminded so often of the heart break involved in the loss of a mate. A couple of years ago we had a long and great phone conversation. It was easy to hear that he was enthusiastic about life and lived it to the full. With love and prayers, Paul

Dear Julie, sorry to hear about our cousin Bobby. The last time I saw you and Bobby was at our Mother’s funeral. Was so nice to see you both. Lord Bless you through this trial and loss. It is so important to be a Christian, isn’t it? Love from Darlene, Karolyn and Peggy Koeshall.
