Dear Margaret, Gail, Diane and Robbie,
I think of you often and only recently sought you out online only to find that Bob had passed. I am so sorry for your loss and understand the pain of losing a father as I lost my own 13 yrs ago and it still saddens me.
I hope you all find peace and know that I still have fond memories of the time I spent getting to know and love your family.
Sincerely,
Jill
