Marilyn, I am so sorry about Bobby. I had planned to visit him when I was in Ruston a few weeks ago for a class reunion. I got busy getting our house ready to sell and ran out of time. I think you know that you and I are cousins and I'd like to stay in touch. Bobby was such a sweet boy. Hugs.

I am so sorry to hear about Bobby's passing. I remember him fondly from his visits to Atkinson, NE with Jane as well as the few times I visited Louisiana. I know he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
