We are so saddened to hear of B0b's passing. He and Sheila have been good friends for many years and we spent many occasions enjoying each other's companionship.
Our families also became close and did many "kid" activities together.

Sheila - we have been thinking about you since we heard the sad news - we wish we were closer so we could provide some support for you. We hope to see you before long.

All our love, Lorraine and Harry
