It’s imperative that more peolpe make this exact point.
Renee and Jim and family:
Thank you so much for letting my mom and me know about Uncle Bob. We think of you all often and it is sad we have not kept more in touch. Your family will always have a special place in my heart and we got to enjoy both Bette and Bob in the Southwest. I am starting to spend my summers in Door County so let’s meet up next summer. My condolences to all of you at this time. Linda
