Dear Pat and family, I was so sorry to hear of Bob‘s passing today. I remember our years together when we were kids. We saw each other frequently at that time. Now, it has been many years since I have seen him. The last time I saw him he was sitting at the table at my mom and dad‘s house in Hazelwood. He had come in for a visit but that was a long time ago. I know these have been terrible days for all of you dealing with the Covid virus. Pat I hope you are healing from Covid.
My deepest and sincerest sympathy to all of you. Love, Shirley
