Dear Sue ....
We were sorry to hear of Bob's passing, but knew he wasn't well, especially this past winter.  He was always gracious when you asked him how he was doing.  His smile was contagious, when he replied, "Doing the best I can ... one day at a time."  It was encouraging to see him out and about to certain things, when he was able to come and enjoy just fellowshipping with us all.  

Sue, you've been a wonderful caregiver to him, and the Lord will continue to bless you because of your faithfulness.  May you know His peace and comfort throughout these next few days and weeks.  Our love and prayers will be there for you and your family.  ~ Richard & Sharon
