Dear Carol- My deepest sympathy to you and your family. It was truely a pleasure and privilege to be Bob's doctor. I greatly enjoyed our visits; he always brightened my day with his dry sense of humor. I admired his courage in facing his many medical problems. I also greatly admire the wonderful care and attention you gave Bob during his times of illness. This was the main reason he did so well for so many years. I will miss Bob tremendously. Please don't hesitate to call me at anytime if I can offer any help to you or your family. Sincerely, Steve

Bob will definitly be missed. He was blessed to have the great care you've given him all these years. It's never easy to lose someone you love, however, we must remember he's in a better place and with his beloved family that has past on before him. There is comfort to know that someday we'll all be together. These last few days, I've thought of all of you often and have kept you in my prayers.
May God be with you all~
Love, Connie
