    I was shocked to hear of Bobโ€™s passing. He will be very much missed. My mom, Amelia is so very sad. Bob & Jane were one of the best neighbors she has had. She is going to miss them not being around anymore. Bob always looked out for my mom, especially when my mom would go on a vacation, he would look out for the house. Jane would draw or print pretty pictures for her. Itโ€™s going to be sad when I visit my mom and they wonโ€™t be there.
    Rest In Peace Bob and May the angels of the Lord put their comforting wings around Jane to comfort her while she is here on earth.
    My condolences the all his family.
