Maureen and Mary Rita,
My heart aches for you both. Such a loss.
Bob made this world a better place...teaching by example...genuinely being his kind, thoughtful and loving self. When in his presence, one felt special...valued...befriended. What a gift he was given and so graciously shared.
With sincere condolences...
