Bob, my deepest condolences to you and the rest of the family as I just learned of Marcia’s passing. Though decades since any of us had last seen each other, I think of our class often. And every time a fellow classmate passes, a little bit of the rest of us passes with them. I will keep you and all in our prayers during this difficult time.

Bob, I don’t recall ever meeting your wife, but the fact that she chose you says she must’ve been a pretty extraordinary person. If there is anything your PSI family can do for you, don’t hesitate to ask.
