Bob and Don are probably fishing today in heaven and argueing about something or another. Grandma is thrilled to have her favorite son with her and your mom is so relieved she can keep an eye out personally on her favorite dance partner, God Bless you all for taking such good care of my favorite brother-in-law. Love You Guys Aunt Marcia
