Dear Jan and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Somehow I must have missed an earlier announcement of Bob’s death. Bob was one of the kindest, friendliest persons I ever met. It was such a pleasure to know him while we were at Heidelberg.
I trust that his suffering is over and he is at peace. It is difficult for those left behind of a very loved family member and friend. Prayers for peace for you all. With much affection, Janet
Life and Death are one, as are the river and the sea.
I will listen for your laughter and will make your love of others a part of my life. I look forward to our tomorrows together, and the peace that we will share.
Your friend, Bob
Deb and Family-
Not having the ability to hug your parent ( Grandparent/husband) again is hard to imagine. Knowing that the love you shared is still there in smiles when favorite memories come to you is what makes it easier over time. Sending a hug at this difficult time.
