My Second Mom Dorothy,
God sent me around the corner yesterday and I was so happy to see you, but I wondered why you were alone for I am not use to seeing you without Bob. Needless to say I was shocked and still cannot believe he is gone. I do not have words to tell you how sorry I am and I can only imagine the loss you feel, but God must be happy for he has one of the best men I have known and I am so thankful to have known him and to see how much love,joy and happiness he brought to you. Jimbo is also is in disbelief and said he is so glad we saw Bob at the Mayor's picnic. Know you are in our thoughts and prayers and if you need anything day or night we are just a phone call away.
We love you.
Jimbo and Ann
