Joyce and family,

   Sending you my condolences on Bob's death. The weather may keep me from being there today, but I am thinking of you all. One of the clearest memories I have of Bob is when I stayed at your place when Shannon was born. Bob loved to play with the kids after supper. Comfort each other with all your good memories.
