I am sad to report that our dear friend, Bob, who came everyday to visit his sister, Annie, at the Care Center where my mother lives, passed away. Of course my mother has taken the news very hard, and I will spend the day with her again tomorrow to try to help her deal with her emotions…. she just keeps saying she misses him so much, as do I. Bob was one of those amazing individuals that come into your life and leave a BIG footprint on your heart. We all came to love Bob, and his presence among us is very much missed. RIP Bob. You were so loved, and I’m so proud to count you among my friends. I will continue to look in on your sister Annie for you.
Bob
On a happier note, David, who has been in isolation in his room for well over a month with a severe infection, has been cleared by his doctors and released back into the general population. So, so good to have you back David! You were missed, and we all love you! Welcome back… 🙂
Stay Tuned!

Thanks Kathy. Yes, Bob’s passing has had a real impact on many people that knew him. He was just that kind of person, so kind, so gentle, and so generous with his time… And David is so happy to be out of his room… they may never get him back in it again! XoXo
