To Bob (and Ryan and Tim), I just learned of your loss and wanted to express my condolences. Bob, you and I were friends in grade school and our mothers became friends and kept in touch a longer than we did. My mother, Ada, passed away a few years ago, but she always enjoyed Rose’s company and would have been very sad with her passing. I remember Rose’s smile and her always making my mom laugh. I hope this finds you as well as can be during this time.
