To all Bob’s Children and Family
We were heart broken to hear about Bob. He was the sweetest man and always had a smile and asked ” How are you doing “. I will miss seeing Bob around and we clicked when we first meet when I worked with beloved Mary. Mary and I had many years of work, laughter and good times and Bob seemed to come up a lot in our talks. He was a gem. Love you all and know we are thinking of you at this very sad time and praying for you all. The angels are singing and Mary is at heaven’s gate embracing her dear Bob. God bless you all.
Love
