NellW Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I wanted to come and tell you Bob left us today at 11:00 a.m. It was so peaceful and quiet, no struggle. His pain is gone now. Jo is doing as well as can be expected, but I am sure the next few days will be hard. I will post his obituary tomorrow. The house has been filled with food and loved ones. Last night his son played the guitar and we sang for a long time. Then this morning he just slipped away. You are all in my heart and prayers. I will need your company, and oh how I hate this beast that takes our precious ones from us. Love Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
