To Mrs. Marilyn and Bob. I never met Mr. Bob; however, I feel like I've known him for years. My mom, Loretta, shared many conversations she had with him to and from work. I'm very appreciative of the support your family extended with providing her rides. My deepest sympathy to your entire family. I know Mr. Bob will be missed by many. God Bless and you are in our prayers.
