Lisa Grant, housekeeping Parkview Gardens says
Dear Rashleger family,
I didn’t know Bob for long but he always called me his girlfriend. One day I was walking in the hall and he asked me what I was doing Friday night, I said nothing. He said oh good I’m taking you out to dinner and then a movie we can have all the popcorn and soda we want, but you will have to drive he said. He was such a kidder always asking me do I need a shave,and always told me that I was such a sweetheart for helping him. R.I.P. Bob, I am know longer at Parkview but he was one of my favorite residents. See you again some day. My condolences to you all.
