"I’m so sorry to hear about our families loss. Bobby was a great guy. We spent a whole lot of time together in the summers either in Illinois or in Tennessee. Loved going to the races together. We both were spoiled by our families. I remember when Bobby was so sick and was home bound for a few years. We haven’t got to spend time together as we got married and started our own families, but there has always been so many things I’ve don’t or thought about that brought him to mind. He will be missed but I know one day I will be reunited with him. I can just see the look on Aunt Betty’s face when she seen him again. Praying for you all please stay in touch. Love ya all. "
