I have had the honor and privilege of knowing Grandpa Puls for over 35 years. I have many, many fond memories of us in Grand Rapids and also in the Greenville Area. My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. I know that Brian was there waiting for him with open arms and giving him the grand tour of Heaven. All of my LOVE, Chrissy

Dear Betty,
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family have been an inspiration to others in your tender committment to someone you love and a tribute to what kind of man Bob was. It has been a sincere pleasure to not only assist in Bob's care, but to get to know you both.
With sincerest love and affection,
Kathy E.
