Barbara, I am so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I am thinking of you always.
Such a wonderful article about our friend Bob. He was special, easy to talk to, and close to my heart. I will miss him, but Bob is in a better place. He’s happy now, but it still makes me sad. God Bless you, Barb, you were the best daughter. Love Kathy
