To Jeanne and the Pattyn family. God only takes the best. Bob will be one of the shining stars when you look up at night. Sorry we were unable to attend the funeral but want to let you know we were thinking of you. When Bob had the store in Bryanston I was up around there a lot. If you were feeling down he always had a cheerful word. So sad
that he had to endure such poor health in later years. Hold on to the memories of better times and it will help youto
get through each day. Our love and sympathy goes out to each one in the family.
