Bob,
I was really sorry to hear about your wife's passing. In all the years that I have known you I have come to understand how close the two of you were and, with the passing of my mom and dad, I have an idea of what you are going thru. If there is anything I can do for you or your family, please let me know.
V/R,
Edward Gayz
