To a dear friend

Nancy, I do not know why or how I found this about Bob but something told me to bring this up on the computer. Needless to say, Dennis and I are in shock. We have been trying for sometime to find a phone number for you without success. Please, when you are up to it, give us a call at 239-221-8504. We will be thinking and praying for you. He was a great guy. Much love Dennis and Judy. We are leaving for Florida tomorrow.

Dear Mrs. Kimble, Vicki, Denise and Bob-I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Kimble. He was truly a gentleman in every sense of the word. I will always remember watching Steelers games at your house and him happily singing along at my parents' Christmas Eve parties. He was always so very kind to me, and I know you are devastated. Please know that I am praying for your comfort at this terribly sad time. He was a great man and I will think of him often. Sent with love-Adrienne
