Please accept our deepest condolences during your time of loss and sorrow. There are no words that can ease your pain, only time and fond memories can accomplish that goal. As Bob was a WWII Veteran, I am sure he would be proud to be laid to rest on Pearl Harbor Day.
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Pete & Nan
