Dear Rose,
We saw Bob’s obituary in the newspaper and want to add our sympathies to those of others who know you and have shared various activities with you. May the Holy Spirit bring you comfort in your sorrow. You were uniquely qualified and called to care for Bob in his difficulties with Parkinson’s and its symptons. He is now at peace in God’s presence. We are sure that you also share in that peace as well.

Dear Rose & family, Sorry for your loss. Bob was a super person. Frank and I loved running into him at times. Enjoyed when he use to call for Wakins orders. He will be missed but always remembered. Love from our hearts. Frank and Sue Carotto

Dear Rose, so sorry for your loss, but understand the joy of knowing his struggles are over. I don’t think I can come to services on Sunday, but want you to know I’ll be thinking of you. Appropriate that you can experience the love of those who love you and Sid on Valentine’s Day. God bless you. Love, Marion Mowrer Spinks

Oh, our dear Rose: So sorry for you, so happy for him. What a wonderful thing right now to remember our “Blessed Hope”. We are thousands of miles away right now, but wish we were standing next to you to hug and uplift you. I’m feeling grief right now about this, but at the same time leaning on the knowledge that joy comes in the morning. And now may the God of ALL comfort be your everlasting portion. We love you.
