Shirley Lee , Rose, Shirley Joan, And Sue , I was so shocked to hear about Bob , I had no idea you both had been so sick, I was just up there for 3 days over Mem.day weekend running around to get to all the family's grave sites, ALWAYS in such a rush. I drove by your home in Volga and saw Bob at the end of the house working in a flower bed and blowed the horn and waved but I'm sure he didn't know who it was, had I known you all had been soooo sick I would have stopped and talked a while , WHY are we always in such a rush ? I though the WORLD of you ALL , my prayers are with you all , give me a call sometime @ 910-805-0631 , LOVE YOU ALL !!! Curt
