Steve and I were so sorry to hear aout the passing of your father. We want you and George to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We both know how hard this part of life is after losing both parents, one can feel so alone. But memories help more than I can say and knowing they are at peace in God's care is such an added bonus. Please remember there are so many people out there who care about you and are thinking about you at this time. Sincerely, Tammy & Steve

Our thoughts and prayers are with you today. I know that Robert is in a better place and reunited with his love Mary again. You now have two angels keeping watch over you from heaven. I know you will miss him but he was a wonderful man, had a really good life and gave the world my wonderful friend Cathy. Let me know what you need and whatever I can do, I will. You know I mean it. I am so sorry you have to go through this sad part of the circle of life.
