I was so sad to hear Bob was in the hospital and that he had passed away. My first thoughts were that Ashley is going to be so upset she loved her dad so very much. My prayers are with you Lise and your family.
Just remember the good times. There were many happy days in your house. I’ll
always remember Bob sitting in his rocker spending time with his grandchildren. That made him so happy you could see it in his eyes.
RIP Bob you were loved by many.
