Suzanne,
Russ, Jeff, I am so sad for your loss. I am gone a lot for work, Europe at this time. Bob was a great influence in my life. Both as a person and as a craftsman. He is the best at both. We had many discussions about life and Gods plan. He is a unique person with a great love for all of you.

Suzanne, I was sorry to hear about the loss of Bob. I know when I talked to you several years ago, he was not in very good health. He has been so blessed to have you there for him.
It seems like only yesterday that we were little girls playing together. What fun times we had.
Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you and give you peace of mind in the days ahead.
Love
Mari Jean
