Dear Linda,
I was so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. I, too, lost a loved one this month. My brother died on the 10th so my heart is grieving with you. I hope you will be able to find comfort and peace knowing Bob is no longer suffering and that he is in a better place. I wanted to send you a card but could not find an address. I hope you are doing all right; I think of you often. Take care.
