Posted on: Friday, April 3, 2020Dear Ed, Wendy & all family:
We were so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing and what a lovely photo of him. He will be missed and we remember him fondly – it was a wonderful time when he and Ray were at RVH together – it made the stay so good under the circumstances. As well, we think of times with both your parents at family events over the years. You have been blessed to have them with you so long and hope all your great memories are helping you through this time. Look forward to hugs once this virus is over and we can remember him in person. Much love. Ray & Marilyn
( My parents were in IOOF lodge for many years as I was as well in my early 20’s until I was introduced to Sorority!)
