Ray & Family,
This must be such a hard time for you. Bob was so young. I know that you will always love and remember him. I hope the pain fades. There is a line from a movie that I remember at times like this: “until the next dimension my friend” My thoughts are with you.
Love, Jill

Dear Roxy & family, We are so sorry to hear about Bob’s passing; I’m sure it has been a long struggle for all of you. He was such a delight for us to meet. He and George have much in common and their sense of humor seemed similar as well. We are happy we had a few years to get to know him. God bless you all in your healing process.
