Zelma and girls, Dianne and family,
My heartfelt sympathy to all of you at this most difficult time. I was so terribly sorry to hear about Bobby.
An old Irish saying : Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal. May all of you find comfort in your memories and peace in God's love.

zelma: I am so sorry about Bobby's passing. At least he has gone to a much better place. Only wish I could have been more involved with our family. Even though I did not see him a lot I will miss him. He was a part of us. A beautiful baby and a handsome man. You and the girls take care and let me know if you need anything or if I can do anything for you. My prayers are with you. Aunt Janice
