    R.I.P. Uncle Bob – and my deepest condolences to Cousin Craig. Even though I did not get to see Bob often, every time I did it was like no time had passed. What a great guy. He loved golf, his corvette, his late wife Aunt Karen, Cousin Craig, and he loved his sister and my Mother. He spent so much time with Mom, and I am truly convinced that when she left, she took a large piece of Bob with her. So, now Bob, Karen, Jim, Nancy, and Nettie are all back together again, and U Bob is looking for a heavenly golf course.

    Dear Craig, Nothing prepares us for what it’s like to lose our parents. I know how much you’ll miss him. You have my heartfelt sympathy. I’m picturing a pretty great reunion when Karen (and my folks, and Nancy and all the others who’ve gone before) saw him coming. They had so much fun together!

    Sorry for your loss, Craig. He was a good friend to Dick and me. Always smiling. Had fun when we stained the house–He spent more time in pool than on house. He will be missed

    Craig, we know that your mother was a lovely woman, but we never actually met your dad. So we would like to offer our condolences to the loving son that they raised.

    Craig, my sincere sympathy for the loss of your father. He and your mother came to the animal hospital, frequently. It was always a joy for me to see them walk through those doors. You were blessed with such wonderful parents. I wish you much comfort and peace.
