Kathleen,

I was so sorry to hear about your husband Bob and his recent illness. I was keeping up with things through Joyce at church. I am so glad that you were able to spend his last days with him. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Though the days ahead will be hard, you have many friends you can call on, including me. God will give you the strenth you need.

Always,
Bonnie Barbini
