Cathy,
When I read of Bob’s passing, I immediately remembered our days of working together at Reilly Bros. I am not sure if you will remember me, but I will always remember you two as a part of my life and helping a young teenager starting out in the working world to do his best. With that, I want to let you know that my thoughts are with you during your time of loss.
David Dietz (Sherwood’s son)

We wish you love and warmth through this difficult transitioning time and sincerely hope that Bob’s memories will fill the voids of his loss.
Very sincerely,
