Dear Bob,

I just found about Carol, I was deeply saddened to hear this. I want to offer my sincere condolences for you loss.

You, Carol and Cheryl are very special to me. I always looked forward to seeing you when you came to the office for your visits.

Though we haven't gotten to see each other as much in recent years. I considered you all as some of my dearest and special friends.

I hope that you will find comfort knowing that Carol and Cheryl will now be together with the dear Lord.

May God's blessing and peace be with you.

Love you
